Where did disco go?
"Disco Demolition Night was a Major League Baseball (MLB) promotion"
[en.wikipedia.org]
"It was mostly just black records."
"Clubs that were disco clubs became country and western bars."

@Fred_Snerd I know that song before I even hit play and no thanks lol. I'll take 60s rock.
I always hated disco and country music. It sucks to be so marginalized as these two genres have always been really popular, one or the other, ever since I was a late teenager. At the same time, I have always liked soul, R& B, and blues, so it's not about race. Disco was just very repetitious, bland and dumb. The lyrics were also inane for the most part. I hate country music for many reasons, some cultural, others for the sound.

@Fred_Snerd I get that, but I prefer music with lyrics that are either intelligent or at least saying something heartfelt and passionate, not the typical disco lyrics of "Ohh, baby do that to me...etc.".
@Fred_Snerd I was not into dancing then when disco was big. I realize that the music was all made for the purpose of being dance music, but a lot of it ended up on the radio too back then. I have never enjoyed hearing it. I am proud of not being a typical Boomer in my music tastes.
@Fred_Snerd I enjoy your comments on politics, Fred. Are we done here? You are being a pest..
@Fred_Snerd I'm fine. Time to block since you want to play troll, Fred. Toodles...
