There is that famous film at a baseball stadium where everybody is smashing up their records.
What caused all that ?
Disco brought us many, many great records.
The need to be able to more than shuffle sightly from side to side was added pressure but it was all about glamour and escape in my opinion.
Jazz/funk fusion sucks in my opinion and I have spent a long time studying this.
Disco was the music of the underground queer faction of that day that went mainstream when butch queer John Travolta took it mainstream with Saturday Night Fever.......no kidding.
I am not kidding about disco being the music of the gays. I had the opportunity to listen to lecture from a former insider that belonged to a secret society and was in the music industry. He was in the game BIG time until he became a Christian. He also gave incredible proof that the 60's music that gave rise to the controlled opposition of the bogus Vietnam War that came out of Laurel Canyon, California was CIA. Every major band had military ties. Jim Morrison's dad was involved with the bogus "Gulf of Tonkin" incident. David Crosby's dad was military intel. The Mommas and the Poppas parents were military...the list is huge and they all came from Laurel Canyon....look it up and do your own research. Rock music has always been a tool of rebellion.
The Beatles and the Rolling Stones were products of the Tavistock Institute that specialized in propaganda, You had the clean cut "girly boys" in the Beatles and the "bad boys" of rock and roll in the Rolling Stones...good cop, bad cop and it was all just a psy-op.......holy shit...I made that rhyme...LOL!
