"Disco Sucks!" Could a "Disco Demolition Night" now happen again?
Update: 2025-01-26
Description
In July 1979 Steve Dahl organised a Disco Demolition Night at a baseball game in Comiskey Park, Chicago. Infuriated by disco music and its chart dominance it was the latest in a growing nationwide "Disco Sucks!" campaign. That night ended in a riot. But some have argued it also ended disco as a genre.
But now, is the distrust between a liberal elite and an embittered midwest back to where it was almost half a century ago? On this episode we look at the weird and unpleasant "Disco Sucks!" campaign and ask: "Could it happen again?"
Be expertly briefed each week on a wide variety of intriguing musical topics.
