OK besides this below and DEVO coming out of the Kent State massacre, what are other facts you have about the evolution of art / music /etc that wouldn't be obvious if you didn't know but, retroactively, explain and/or illuminate a LOT ?

Reminds me of how almost all the French dadaists and surrealists were WWI veterans of the trenches seriously exploring alternatives to conventional thought and language.

House music was born in part from Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey Park in Chicago: gimletmedia.com/shows/undone... *deleted & reposted to correct an error
Disco Demolition Night | Undonegimletmedia.com One summer night in 1979, 50,000 people got together at a baseball stadium to kill disco. And it worked. Kind of.

As an Xer Chicagoan (Wax Trax era &tc) I am FURIOUS that nobody before you saw fit to educate me about this confluence of important information but am genuinely thrilled to know it now. Been listening to early early House all night

Also, disco never truly died. It just went to Europe on holiday, had a bunch of kids + grandkids, then eventually returned as Nu Disco. Artists like Lindstrøm kept it alive in dancehalls as it diversified into Nu Disco, House, etc. youtu.be/Li2JRtlPFZs?...

One of the most famous bands involved in Nu Disco’s triumphant return to US shores was Daft Punk. youtu.be/yydNF8tuVmU?...

Nu Disco and Electrofunk have been going strong as influences on American and European pop music ever since. youtu.be/Rgy-eAzARNE?...

I love that they start out quoting Vince. I first learned about this from an episode of a favourite podcast. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/y...
