Although it is a remarkable demonstration of the fact that
if ANYTHING deserved dyin'... DISCO deserved dyin'.
.
.
.
1979 or so, I got a job tending bar in a THRIVING icon of a
bar in my hometown that was only open Thurs-Sat nights,
seated about 350 and had lines out the door every night
due to the great live rock-and-roll they'd book.
.
.
.
The new owners (3 great though idiotic businessmen and
a real dickhead of an attorney -- I'd STILL bet this was his
idea) decided they could do better with a disco (none of
the pesky live band payout overhead cost).
.
.
.
Disco had died long before -- and had even recently died in
smalltown Midwest (where we were at)
.
.
.
They went from 500+/night to about 15 people per night --
there were times when staff outnumbered customers. They
spent $40,000 on a Saturday Night Fever-style lighted dance
floor and (admittedly) a KILLER sound system. Turned out the
whole freakin' staff -- even the DJ -- hated disco (except for an
otherwise cool manager). When the few customers would leave,
we'd crank up The Stones or The Allman Brothers or something
similar to get the taste of disco out of our ears.
.
.
.
The ONLY saving grace about disco was the women involved --
they REALLY put an effort into their appearance and wardrobe...
and most were excellent dancers.
.
.
.
Don't get me started about Nancy -- 6 feet of gorgeous strawberry
blonde goddess. We'd dance a lot during my breaks... back when
the trend was for the women to hump the thigh(s) of the males.
.
.

Suddenly... I kinda miss ol' disco.

4. My work here is done.
I was gong to point out that my video selection has two things going for it: 1) a VERY impressive moustache/musician ratio, and 2) Three smoking hot Danish chicks in loincloths.

#2 alone is worth saving this clip!
