Not to put too fine a point on it, but unless you were gay and lived in a large city, the disco you got to hear back in the 'disco era' was only the cheesiest, most annoying tip of the iceberg. I refuse to be embarrassed by what I was listening to at the time -- funk, jazz, and early electronica -- but it's only after the fact that I've come to appreciate disco. The really good stuff never got played on the radio or suburban breeder Discos.

That is an excellent book. I kind of let disco go past at the time but in retrospect it looks more and more interesting as a kind of musical and cultural crucible. Most of which was not visible at the public surface, of course. fh
