Maybe it’s just me...

But, has anyone else given thought to (or maybe just a bit curious as to) just what Rich was looking for when he found that.

The guy's actually pretty good... I almost laughed at the end though when he started doing the pigeon-toed, chicken-scratch step...

I was actually a DJ before, during and after disco. The funniest damn thing is when I would put on "Disco Duck" at around 2AM on free beer night. Right when all the drunks were getting down, I would fire the runway grade strobes and watch them fall off the dance floor and throw up. Thanks for the memories.

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother,
you're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin',
and we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive.

RichC, formerly Jimmy Adja, ended his Disco carrier sometime in the late 70s when on stage he anounced that he had plans to run wvo in his MB.

That night all hell broke out.

In college, I made a movie parody with 3 other guys and a few ladies from the local night scene...Saturday Night Beaver...which just about summed up Disco and its related minutia (coke, weed, sex, bad dancing, bad clothes, bad hair, bad breathe, fake names and addresses, etc...).

Ran on the local cable-access and on campus...didn't generate any name recognition, but folks remembered my car ('69 Chevy Caprice)...

(You know that you SUCK as an actor when folks remember the wheels and not your character or face! )

We filmed it at a local "disco" club - owner thought the movie idea was a riot...we smoked the dance floor so bad with the fog machine that we had to mop the floor up before he could let anyone on it...probably the first time the floor was ever cleaned...

Hey Whiskeydan...thanks for bringing up the lyrics of those two songs...was the "Boogie Shoes" song out in '78/'79? I thought that came out in the 80's...

But, what do I remember? Too much...well, er....yah, right...I had the car...everyone else had the chicks and the other stuff...

(Never did get paid for the gas I used in making that stinker!)

One of these days we'll all be laughing at hip-hop and (c)rap the way we're laughing at disco now. Hopefully the death of those types of "music" is not far off.
Eventually it will all come back around to ......a moment of reverent silence please...... Classic Rock. Or even Big Band!
