can't believe the disco sucks thing ever happened ? well, it's still
happening
in the u.s.
you need a license to dance in new york city. and the city vigorously
prosecutes. for the past 8 years the city has done everything in its power
to
shut every club and bar that has a set of turntables.
but what the hell, in three weeks time i'll be living in sydney and will no
longer have to walk into bars that have large signs saying 'no dancing
allowed'
over the dj's head.

What was the name of that DJ who led the "Disco Sucks" movement in that
Baseball Stadium? I can't believe that sort of thing would have happened
in
1976.
