However, I now find I enjoy several of the old tunes (at least they usually had a melody line). It also takes me back to a much more satisfying point in history (nostalgia kicking in). I think for me it gets the nod over most punk & rap that followed. I have always tried to keep a very open mind about popular music. I don't know if that's a blessing or a curse. Probably means I don't know a helluva lot about music. MR, I felt the same way about disco back in the day.

Mirror Ball = Disco Club/Freak = Disco Music..... The Disco Music is what I have a problem with.... I rate it right up there with Rap, Hip-hop, and all the so-called music that requires little or no talent, a very obnoxiously loud repetitive, but, danceable Bass line, and, in the case of Disco, multiple female harmonies sang by male performers, in the case of Rap, Hip-hop, etc., no musical singing ability is necessary, just a rhyming dictionary and one chord.... Sunn, you're right, if we would have had laser pens in the sixties, we would all be blind now from shining them in each others eyes..... Wow, Man, cool, look into the light, yeah......

Well, maybe not. We had plenty of other things to help us through the night. The cheap laser pens they make now would have been a real trip back in the 60′s. Well, maybe not.

We need something two move light spots on the walls to entertain the cats. OK but a disco ball is much cheaper then a laser FX.
