FOF #1217 – Disco Inferno

July 12th is the 31st anniversary of the infamous Disco Demolition Night, a PR stunt that turned into a violent nightmare as an angry mob rioted against disco music and its association with gay culture by tearing apart Comiskey Park.

Interestingly enough, thirty one years later, on the same day, the YMCA announces it’s re-branding itself as just “the Y.” Is the organization trying to escape the gay disco anthem YMCA by the Village People?
