  • Not only did Bob Odenkirk narrate the story of Disco Demolition Night, but he also played historical figures W.C. Minor and President Richard Nixon.

    As someone who grew up listening to Steve Dahl on WCKG in the 90s/00s it's always fascinating to revisit the legendary shitshow that was Disco Demolition. Such a quintessentially Chicago event: a bullheaded half-joke with critically short-sighted planning that meets overwhelming public exuberance then ends with police violence and the White Sox getting hosed.

    What many don't realize is that this event was what primarily pushed disco underground and helped give birth to Chicago house music in 1983. Disco music didn't stop, but the term 'disco' disappeared overnight, and some radio stations with primarily Caucasian listeners stopped playing it, but stations with primarily Black audiences were still playing this style of music, only now it was referred to as 'soul'. And disco-style music was still being played in underground dance clubs (no longer called 'discos,' btw...) A lot of original Chicago house music was produced from reimagined disco tracks and baselines.

(not that there's anything wrong with that). Actually, that night was probably the first time we saw the guy. Ah, Chicago. Great place to be from.. never to return.

    I grew up in Detroit. The Tigers were playing the Sox that night and the game was televised here (not sure if both games were supposed to be shown, or if they were just going to show the second game). Back then George Kell and Al Kaline were the broadcasters. Al was every bit as disgusted as Jimmy Piersall, I'm sure George was too. I'm not sure if I was watching, but I've seen replays of the incident with their commentary (it's been a while). Steve Dahl started out in Detroit (as did Howard Stern, right around the time of this incident), so we were very familiar with his antics from his time on Detroit radio. One of the Detroit radio stations created a group called DREAD - Detroit Rockers Engaged in the Abolition of Disco. Listeners could get DREAD cards, and there were little perks you could get if you were a card-carrying member. Can't remember which station it was for sure, I think WRIF, and not sure if that was the station Dahl was on before he went to Chicago. Oh the memories!
