Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey Park in Chicago 1979

Forgot that yesterday was the 40th Anniversary of Disco Demolition Night which was a Baseball promotion where shock jock Steve Dahl blew up a bunch of disco records between a double header featuring the White Sox and the Detroit Tigers. Many fans also threw disco albums into the field like frisbees and then stormed on to the field to stomp on the albums and riot trashing the field and starting fires forcing the White Sox to forfeit the second game. Many often view Disco Demolition Night as the beginning of the end for the Disco fad. Many people in Disco were apparently the original politically correct social justice warriors accusing the event as well as people who hate disco as racist, sexist, and homophobes.
Now if only we could get another since I'm sure there's some shitty acts and genres who's CDs could use a Demolition Night.
