I am 82 years old.
I have lived through the Cuban Missile Crisis, the JFK assassination, the Vietnam War, the Turmoil of 1968, Watergate, the Hostage Crisis, two oil crisis, disco, Reaganomics, 9/11.
The covid pandemic....
These past 11 months have been easily the most miserable era in America in my lifetime.
The hatred, the bigotry, the lies, the racketeering and pedophilia are beyond anything I have ever seen.
We are not going to hell as a nation.
We are IN hell.

@ApostateEnglishman @Ann1944 there’s a lot of great disco music and I’ll die on that hill.

@lerxst @Ann1944 I was surprised - although not particularly surprised, as once you hear it you can't unhear it! - that a lot of Dave Grohl's drumming in his Nirvana days was inspired by disco beats. So there's that...

Anyway, it was more the sheer incongruence of the inclusion of "disco" in a list of truly awful things, that led to my joke. Of course there's a lot of great disco music. I mean if Le Freak by Chic doesn't make you wanna put on some oversized shades and start moving, what will?!

@ApostateEnglishman @Ann1944 the first LP I bought with my own money was the “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” soundtrack. The first 8-track I bought with my own money was “C’est Chic”. Nile Rodgers is a legend and one of my all-time favorite guitarists.
