“The Night that killed Disco!”
I was a bouncer at the Smuggler’s Inn in Nashville. A disco club. I HATE disco. It makes me want to hit people.

Donna Summer just had two disco smashes hit number one ("Bad Girls" and "Hot Stuff"). Anita Ward hit number one with "Ring Your Bell". Chic would then hit number one for the last time with "Good Times." All disco.
Then "My Sharona" by The Knack skyrocketed up the charts and stayed at number one for six straight weeks.

We need a modern version of this.

A baseball game, and seeing stacks of disco records destroyed. Clearly one of the greatest nights in baseball history.
10 cent beer night in Cleveland runs a close second, though.

Donna Summer got in a fight with her label before that album, about wanting to branch out from Disco. That's why Hot Stuff is a rock song, as well as Disco, and has a solo by Skunk Baxter. She also has a New Wave song, The Wanderer, the following year.

Still pissed that I missed that. Had to work too late that day to get down there in time.
There were people sliding down the foul ball netting from the upper deck. It would have been a gas.
