You know what I needed to rise up to this morning? Michael J Fox playing Johnny B Goode, just like he did in Back To The Future. But not a clip from the film — how about Mr Fox himself rocking it out today?
The clip is from the recent A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Cure Parkinson’s event, where Michael J Fox took to the stage and… well, just watch it, OK?
Once you’re done, consider heading over to his web site and making a donation to Parkinson’s research. [YouTube via Topless Robot]

Doing it while afflicted with Parkinsons takes serious effort considering the effect it has on your ability to simply move properly.
I doffs me hat to you Mr Fox. A true inspiration.

1. Points to MJF for using the same one.
2. Points to you for noticing! That’s awesome attention to detail man.
3. Points for your avatar, I remember that little typewriter dude.
