Drinking cheap Pinot Grigio from Trader Joe's. It's really not bad!

I think Ward's failure to have another hit was a consequence of the late seventies /early eighties antidisco movement. I'd like to read more about the origins and significance of that movement.

🧵 It's worth mentioning the racially-charged context of Levan's residency at the Paradise Garage: the #DiscoDemolitionNight, which was in part a rejection of gay and Black musicians by white America, occurred just as Levan's career was lifting off. House music represents, in some sense, an artistic #resistance movement, and an affirmation of the contributions that Black and gay artists have made to dance music. [end of thread]
