In 1979, “Disco Demolition Night” was staged by disc jockey Steve Dahl at Chicagoʹs Comiskey Park between games of a baseball doubleheader, where a big pile of unwanted vinyl disco records got burned up. Led by the chant, “Disco Sucks!”, most of the records werenʹt burned, but sailed through the stands DURING the game — nearly inciting a riot. Some fans went wild and started their own fires and mini-riots. There was so much commotion that the ballplayers couldnʹt even finish the last game of the doubleheader; the White Sox forfeited the second game of a doubleheader to the Detroit Tigers. The next day, newspapers and one of the sponsoring DJʹs, Steve Dahl, called the unruly crowd, “a bunch of animals.” Duh! Disco died, at least for awhile, and the crowd probably thought they killed it.
