Local community house was hosting weekly disco dances in the very late 70s.

The day after Reagan was elected someone spray-painted disco is dead on the building.

No more disco dances were held.

The beginning of good times.

Thanks, now I’m going to have that insipid tune in my head for hours.

Makes me want to try my roller skates on.
But, I’d better not.

This was considered an early form of disco and a great tune.
The Hues corporation. Don’t rock the boat. Great tune.

I never listened to radio stations that would play something like that. During that time I listened to Orlando radio station WORJ, an album station.

One of the best lines I ever heard in a song is “well, disco back where you came from”

I cannot find it right now, but I will keep trying

At least people would get out and dance, now they are tethered to their phone

Back in the day, I hated disco.

Now it’s such an improvement over today’s pop and country music.

Yep. Nowadays the ball gowns of the First Ladies can be viewed by appointment only.

It was the Democrat theme song for a lot longer than that.

As friends of mine have said, “Disco is dead. Let us not mourn its passing.”

"The Bump" was more fun.

You had to be careful, though, or you'd end up with a bruised hip.

Our rugby team in Cincinnati had T Shirts made up with the saying “Disco Sucks” for the summer 7 a side tournaments. Great way to play.
