Bruce V. Bracken's Comments

Speaking as someone who was 13-14 at the height of Disco's popularity(the majority of the top ten hot 100 singles of 1978 and 1979, respectively, each sold over 2 million copies in the US), I can say that I genuinely became tired of disco. It was all that was played, and I think that anyone listening to Top 40 radio 30 years ago, no matter what race, would have been bloody sick of a steady diet! For the poster of this entry to attribute the backlash to racism is no better than to attribute all negative emotions from a woman to PMS. Keep in mind that everyone, his dog, and his dog's fleas was putting out a disco record, even country artists. Furthermore, AOR stations' complaints, I believe, was that they were being pressured to play disco music. Imagine if today a hip-hop station was pressured to play Nirvana and Pearl Jam in the '90s; it was that absurd.

The Italian government has no right to tell people what they can, it can't, eat; not does it have the right to tell restaurateurs what they can sell. It must be left to each person to decide for himself.

Sanctimonious bilge! When a john puts money in the nightstand, does he doesn't tell the hooker how to spend it, does he!? Wall St. whored itself for the tax money, it can spend it however it likes!
