I remember that. It all seemed rather odd. What the caption under the picture was going to say was that the second game of the doubleheader wasn’t even able to be played because they had burnt the field. All of a sudden just by “coincidence” late night comedians and others in the entertainment industry started deriding and making fun of disco. They made it out like you weren’t a red blooded American if you didn’t hate diso.
In later years I started to realize something was going on. That was too much of a coordinated effort to simply get rid of a genre of music. They wanted it gone. In the 43 years since I’ve gotten a little smarter. Fox News had a story (God knows why) about Andy Gibb dying at such a young age in 1988. If you were paying attention at all to music in the 70’s you knew the Bee Gees, Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, Robert Stigwood and RSO records (had a hippo for an icon) were absolutely huge.
So I sent the following idea to a music buddy on Gab to see what he thought:
Hey Wayne I saw this article on FOX about the untimely death of Andy Gibb. It had Andy in a picture with Robert Stigwood of RSO records. It suddenly became clear to me anyway of why the American music industry (Jewish control) had so much interest in destroying disco. Stigwood had too much power for their tastes. His early education at Sacred Heart makes me think he was Catholic. Wikipedia: “On his death, one obituary judged that he had been for a time the most powerful tycoon in the entertainment industry: “Stigwood owned the record label that issued his artists’ albums and film soundtracks, and he also controlled publishing rights – not since Hollywood’s golden days had so much power and wealth been concentrated in the hands of one mogul”.
Here’s what he thought:
Very Good!!! Thanks for the information!! The industry clearly wanted Stigwood along with Casablanca Records gone. The plan was in place, the decade was coming to an end and the industry wanted to wipe the slate clean. Hollywood along with the media got on board with the music industry and made sure their competitors were wiped out. There’s no way in less than a year, something so popular, became so despised, unless it was manufactured…and it certainly was!!
