Why do Greece, Brazil and other Euro countries have more balls when it comes to rejecting mask tyranny that Americans?

Are we a more sheepish people? I have never thought that.

Does anybody remember this?

Disco Demolition Night was a Major League Baseball (MLB) promotion on Thursday, July 12, 1979, at Comiskey Park in Chicago, Illinois, that ended in a riot.

At the climax of the event, a crate filled with disco records was blown up on the field between games of the twi-night doubleheader between the Chicago White Sox and the Detroit Tigers.

Many of those in attendance had come to see the explosion rather than the games and rushed onto the field after the detonation. The playing field was so damaged by the explosion and by the fans that the White Sox were required to forfeit the second game to the Tigers.

Prior to that event, disco had been considered cool. The blowing up of the disco was an'emerorer has no clothes' moment and soon thereafter, we were subject to that dreadful noise no more. Disco was dead.

That's how you do it. That's exactly how you take something that's 'cool', like disco, and make it uncool.

Many people consider masks 'cool' right now.

Lets do masks next.

We have the media pushing lie after lie about the "Rona nightmare and the sheep believe...the new one is that Sturgis (now trending on Twitter) just caused a zillion new cases in the Midwest.

P.S. Disco was declared dead??? Nobody told me...I guess I was on the dance floor with Tony Manero!

Disco is not dead at weddings. It’s still the music that gets everyone up on the dance floor when the party is slow to get started.

I was a new teen during disco and thought it was such fun music until it became canned and the songs began to be wordless repetitious beats that went on for 12 minutes. It was burning out on its own by the time the records were set on fire on that baseball field.

I love most types of music and still love the early disco.

P.S. Masks became mandatory in my region in early August, but I don’t wear one. I put on my very best “don’t mess with me” face and look people directly in the eye. They seem to find that disconcerting and leave me alone.

Having said that, I’d happily attend a mask-burning event and burn one that I borrowed.
