BASEBALL PING LIST
If you would like to be on the ping list let me know.
This will be a medium volume ping list during the baseball season and a low volume ping list when all life stops in late October.

I almost went to that game, but there was too much traffic.

"The media was talking about this 'wonderful disco culture' - it was very style over substance," he says. "I think a lot of people who were rock fans at the time felt this stuff was being shoved down their throats and they reacted against it, they were resistant to it, that's why it became so vehement."Replace disco with Zero and it fits today's situation.

I was part of the “I hate disco” crowd around the same time period. Looking back, however, disco was relatively innocent and tame compared to the crap kids are listening to now.

Obviously, Dahl and the air-guitar, beer-can chugging behind the arena rock stage morons he hoodwinked are no different than today's leftists.
Can't compete in the marketplace, so they attack the music. How predictable and lame. Never-mind that disco really didn't die, it merely laid the foundation for hip-hop, soul, and R & B music, and that rock during the 70s (FReeper note: I am a huge 70s rock aficionado and consider that period the very best in rock music) as a whole consistently out-performed and out-sold many one-hit disco tracks.
Naw, the anger at disco had more to do with the fact that minorities were dressing up and going out and having a good time at venues just like whites did in the 1950s.

“Juuuuust a bit outside.”
I think the home team had to forfeit the game because of the condition of the field.
Oh, and, “disco sucks”.
