SOMEBODY BAN THIS BASTARD
Most of the members here are too young to remember the "Disco Invasion" of the 70s.
Picture if you will...
Its the mid 70s...i'm in my late teens,hanging out on the corner with my friends.....drinking a few beers [ the legal drinking age then was 18 ]...life was good. The music especially...Skynyrd,Floyd,Stones,The Doors.....you get the picture.Even The Bee Gees had a few good [soft-rock] tunes on the radio.."How Could You Mend A Broken Heart"....not rock...but not bad.John Travolta was on the TV playing a dimwitted student in "Welcome Back Kotter". Vietnam had ended......all was peaceful
Then it happened....almost overnight........and this was the catalyst

The country was torn.......the rockers against the dancing fools.Radio was not what it used to be.......Donna Summer, Gloria Gaynor,Kool and the Gang.....the fucking turncoats.....The Bee Gee's....I won't even mention The Village People [I guess I just did].....who were these people...the music sucks...DISCO SUCKS...I wore that logo on my t-shirt proudly.It lasted for quite a few years but we did win the war, thanks to Nirvana and Pearl Jam for "grunge".
Sure we had the "hair bands" of the 80s...but I don't count that....never a big fan. |
