This Thursday (June 13), the Chicago White Sox are giving away 10,000 t-shirts to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Disco Demolition Night, Chicago journalist Robert Feder notes. Written on the t-shirt is: “The Night That Records Were Broken.” The shirt is available as part of the team’s Free T-Shirt Thursdays promotion. According to Feder, Steve Dahl, the radio jockey who stirred up anti-disco sentiment by destroying records, will throw out the game’s honorary first pitch.

No it doesn’t. Disco is great. Most music is.
And yeah, it started as basically black, but whatever.
A lot better and classier than the garbage they pushed the last 30 years, “rap”. Talentless blather as a whole.
I never heard of this stupid incident until maybe 20 years ago.
I was an elder child but I was the young sister of a disco queen and a metal head. Never heard a peep about it.
This was a local incident blown out of proportion to its importance.
Disco is actually music.
“Rap” does not rise to that level.
Rock and roll destroyed couples dancing but disco revived it...
If a guy could dance the Hustle and the others of that genre, meeting chicks at a night club was a piece of cake......
Exactly. My mother noted that way back in the day.
Actually “rock” (NOT the real original R&R) destroyed dancing in general. It’s just bouncing. A lot more is expected in country line dancing, which disco also utilized.
“I had a ‘Disco Sucks’ bumper sticker on my car back then.”
When disco appeared some local fella went around to every stop sign in the county and wrote Disco below the STOP in some permanent white reflective paint so it read STOP DISCO.
I got a kick out of it.
The DOT didn’t.
They were less amused that every sign they replaced was hit again within days of the new sign going up.
They couldn’t catch him and he wouldn’t quit so the DOT gave up. Some of his signs are still around.
I wish I had remembered his example when hip-hop/rap came around.

It was fun but we never went to a club that had salsa dancing on Thursday nights because I was too self conscious.....
I've always been a fan of Latin music because it's so lively and happy...When you're in an environment where it is playing, it's hard to keep your feet still......LOL!
