To boost attendance, White Sox owner Bill Veeck and Chicago DJ Steve Dahl collaborated to host "Disco Demolition" on July 12, 1979. The plan was to blow up disco records on the field between the games of a double-header. But when the crowd stormed the field, tearing out seats and lighting bonfires, the field was destroyed. The second game was canceled for the first time in Major League Baseball history-- and America's music culture was changed forever.Disco musicHistory and criticismDisco musicPopular cultureHistory20th centurySportsIllinoisChicagoMarketingDisco musicfast(OCoLC)fst00894886Popular culturefast(OCoLC)fst01071344SportsMarketingfast(OCoLC)fst01130476Disco musicHistory and criticism.Disco music.Popular cultureHistorySportsMarketing.Disco music.Popular culture.SportsMarketing.Dahl Steve1588758Hoekstra DaveNatkin PaulOdenkirk Bob1962-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910164883603321Disco demolition3882837UNINA
