Never gets old.

I am not a legal expert, how many times do I have to say it?

Was. Never. Funny.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

There's no forgetting. The milking machine is approaching '85 Bears level. Now with t-shirts.

And it continues to resonate because new generations interpret it with fresh eyes. Most recently Disco Demolition has been painted as mainstream culture (rock music) trying to quash the dance music (disco) first championed in African-American, Latino and gay clubs.

( . . . )

But there is this notion — brought home recently in an NPR story, podcast and elsewhere — that the event was, on some deeper level, about suppression of minority culture. The exhibit addresses that head-on, laying out the pros and cons of the argument in a wall card. "How do you look into the hearts of 60,000 attendees and 10,000 wall jumpers and judge whether race or homophobia was a catalyst?" it asks.

This registered sex offender I regularly converse with on the internet just said something really stupid

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

Didn't really realize there was another controversy over this:

for fucks sake...Disco Demolition didn't even look like it was about hating disco. It looked like kids finding a place to get stoned and party. The event was as much about disco as it was about baseball from what I could see

Got a new car and I've been listening to hours of the History of Howard Stern on demand. I t's old news but the degree to which he ripped Dahl off really is astounding. And the hubris he has about it is fucking crazy. He names off like 10 or 20 different bits or just general show stuff that Dahl had done like 3,4,5 years earlier and claims that he changed the "culture." That has to drive the Stever mad to this day. I almost sympathize with him.

The early parody songs were great- "Oh Wally", "Ayatollah", and "Another Kid In The Crawl".

I think "Do you think I'm Disco" was a national hit.

In "Oh Wally" he mentions Rick Rosenthal, who was Wally's news guy. I met Rick once at a social event and brought it up, and man did he get pissed! Total social feux pas on my part--really struck a nerve.

That's pretty thin-skinned.

I remember when Dahl saw Wally eating dinner alone. He described him as "forlorn". Dahl sent over a bottle of Champagne with a note that said something like, "You'll always be the King." Dahl never went after him in quite the same way after that. It's kind of similar to meeting up with the goofs from this forum.

I'm a big dumb shitlib baby

Wow. I guess we know what JORR thinks of us now, guys.

After meeting him, it's hard not to feel sorry for him.

Someone called in to Dr. Ken's show and did a parody of "Oh, Wally", in case you weren't paying attention. A parody of a parody...brilliant!

It was anonymous.

I think it was really anti-DAI. DAI switched formats from rock to disco & fired Dahl, which is exactly what happened to Stern after he replaced Dahl at WWWW in Detroit. Except they switched to country. Shock jock symmetry, catch it.

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

I had no idea about DAI--just had to read about it. I had assumed Dahl was always on the Loop. Shows you what I know.

I always thought Jonathan Brandmeier sucked.

Brandmeier always seemed like Seinfeld radio- no edge with some mild amusement.
