I had just graduated high school in the Chicago suburbs when Dahl put this together. As I remember it, Dahl had been fired from a radio station when they switched their format from rock to disco. When he signed on to the Loop, he was slamming disco with every opportunity. He played a parody song called "Do you think I'm Disco", sung to the tune of Rod Stewart's Do You Think I'm Sexy?". He also would have Loop listeners converge on local discos, causing traffic jams. Yeah, he hated disco!

When he did the Disco Demolition Night, it was well promoted on the Loop, but none of my far north suburb buddies ever considered going to Comiskey Park for a night game! I did watch it on TV, though, and it seemed like Jimmy Piersall was about to have another nervous breakdown!

I remember the sign at Comiskey when the White Sox were actually having a good season: “Die, Yuppie Scum! Go Back to Wrigley!”
