"There’s music I don’t like, but I don’t make a career of not liking it-I just don’t listen to it. “Disco Sucks” was a kind of panic on the part of straight white guys. Disco was basically black music, rock ‘n’ roll was basically white: those guys felt displaced."

That was a really interesting blog post! I live under a particularly large and well-placed rock, so that I knew basically nothing about disco. :(
