"Disco Demolition Night" (Chicago, 1979) The rise and fall (and rise again) of DISCO!

<b>What a Creep</b><br /><b>“Disco Demolition Night: July 12, 1979”</b><br /><b>Season 20, Episode 1<br /><br /></b>Margo and Sonia put on our boogie shoes and prepare to call bull shit on all of the excuses given for “Disco Demolition Night” on Thursday, July 12, 1979, at <a href="https://www.ballparksofbaseball.com/ballparks/comiskey-park/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Comiskey Park in Chicago, IL</a>. A group of boring, racist, sexist, and homophobic idiots decided disco music had been popular for too long. For fun, Chicago shock jock <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Dahl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Steve Dahl</a> created a stunt to destroy LPs on the field of a White Sox &amp; Detroit Tigers game! <br /><br />Mayhem ensued due to the hyped (and hopped) up a crowd of meatheads who had decided that things like Saturday Night Fever, partner dancing, and people who were not “musicians” should have any success, much less a part of pop culture. <br /><br />All of this disco fuss (which coincided with <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/1970s-christian-crusader-anita-bryant-helped-spawn-floridas-lgbtq-cult-rcna24215" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Anita Bryant's gay bashing</a> on the news every night) makes us realize that fighting pop culture “wars” is a sad, furious (and deeply stupid)tale as old as time. <br /><b><br />We have THOUGHTS about this one! </b><br /><b><br /></b>Sources for this episode<br /><b><br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disco_Demolition_Night" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Wikipedia</a></b><br /><b><a href="https://edm.com/features/remembering-disco-demolition-night-1979" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">EDM.com</a></b><br /><b><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/jul/19/disco-demolition-the-night-they-tried-to-crush-black-music" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Guardian</a></b><br /><b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAJfOcnYYEQ" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer no
