Disco Sucks 7/12/1979

I remember watching news about a baseball promotion from Comiskey Park promising "disco demolition".  It a baseball promotion gone very bad.  Not many folks were expected, maybe 20,000 but Bill Veeck decided to almost give away the tickets @98 cents brought back memories of Woodstock and logistics gone seriously wrong.

Blow up a disco record, drink beer, attend a riot, maybe watch a baseball game.  Vinyl projectiles sailed from the seats, there were thirty nine arrests, nine injuries, and the White Sox had to forfeit the second game of a double header.

Had I been living in Chicago I might have attended that game.  This was the beginning of the end of the 70's.  I still like Donna Summer to this day and the Bee Gees and Disco still had legs in Miami.
