disco demolition night

The whole scene was redolent of Hitler's book burnings, only most of the Nazi's weren't drunk.

Rock and roll had a similar effect on the generation that preceded it as well. There was much talk of banning R&R, the devil's music.

But, of course there would be no disco if there was no rock and roll. And there would probably be no dance, rap, dub or hip-hop without disco. Each generation seems to reject the music of the those that follow it and perhaps that is how music evolves.

Vididian, that very philisophical and all, and I was really sorry that the field got ruined, but: Disco really did suck.

Dub predates disco by quite a few years.

some great memories- ah yes, those were the days...
Steve Dahl & Gary Meyer on 97.9 The Loop
They did a show at Parkwest & had a singing skeleton behind the mike onstage (surrounded by Lavelamps) singing Karen Carpenter tunes (she was so anorexic it took her life) tragically - or not? Many have the same sentiments for K.C. as they had for disco, which BTW still sucks!

They were so funny I used to cry my way to work every morning. You literally couldn't stop laughing; drivers would stare at me cracking up while sitting at the stoplights busting a nut; surprised I wasn't committed. The others around you in traffic who also had them on were all in the same state of uncontrollable hilarity.
We also loved his musical parodies of pop tunes; I still have a whole (cassette!) of them. I'll have to break it out again & see if the ole' player still works.

I was into Disco back then and the biggest thing I remember was that alot of the guys not into disco walked alone. The guys into Disco had woman on each arm, all the way home.
Funny thing is most of the dance music out today sounds a lot like DISCO, lots of lip sincing and lets not forget Milli Vanilli. You think Disco had issues nough said about that.
I mainly listen to Rock, Jazz & Blues now but from time to time I pull out the old stuff and remember when.
