ROCK DISCO, ANYONE?

When disco infiltrated  the mainstream in the mid-70's it seemed everybody was jumping on the bandwagon.
As a matter of argument, I am going to say just about everybody in popular music started in with the whole hi-hat swish-swish beat. I actually like some disco songs and think that history has been kinder to that fad than people thought it would be. I always find it interesting when people thoroughly believe something sucks ass and yet they continue to support it by buying records. As recent proof I offer up Creed. Does anybody actually admit to liking them? How 'bout that Limp Bizkit come back? Not so much. The fascination with the disco thing...it seems just about everybody made a disco album or at least a disco informed song. Kiss made "I Was Made For Loving You". It's kinda got a disco beat (ghost played by Anton Fig while the Catman recovered from psychic hemorrhoid surgery), but it's really just a hard rock/pop song disguised as disco. Ace Frehley just couldn't take it and he often referred to it as "rock disco" just to keep his street cred. For the real disco/rock abomination I look no further than another Lou Reed atrocity known as "The Bells". Anybody throw that piece of poo on lately? I dare you to sit through the prime choice cut of "Disco Mystic" or the tightest jam of the century to put some slide in your glide and some dip in your hip (thanks RRM), "Stupid Man". Sounds like Clint Eastwood walking into a gay bar in "The Eiger Sanction". That's a film that in my mind takes homophobia/homoeroticism to a weird level while Eastwood gets all sweaty with George Kennedy. Anybody that has listened to Lou's "LULU" album knows he's still got the touch.
