Sounds like there was a better DJ inside of you somewhere. I'm not a huge fan of either The Kinks or REM but The Kinks are generally more interesting to me...

I was thinking of the Dead's album - Shakedown Street. Disco Dead. I still loved it.

I recently caught Saturday Night Fever again on TBS or one of those stations - man, what a terrible movie, but that era really did have *something* - - -

"I looked in the mirror
at my pigeon chest,
I had to put on my clothes
because it made me depressed."

Poignant, funny. A thing of beauty, so many of which the godlike Kinks have produced over the years.

Sense of humor? What's that?
I swear, sometimes I wonder if it all died with John Lennon.
We're all so determined not to be confused with people who like "popular" music...

Huh. All this time I never noticed it was disco. Really. I guess that proves your point, in a way.
