Of course we know one reason why that's so...

LOL, yep! :)

I admit I like disco, but not for too long a stretch at one time. I also like some 70s "schlock-rock" (ie, soft rock), but most of it makes me want to hurl.

This reminds me, there was a show on VH-1 the other night, "The Most Softsational Soft Rock Hits", or something like that - a countdown of the top 40. I missed most of it, and of the ones I saw, they were mostly on the order of "Afternoon Delight", "Mandy", and "The Pina Colada Song", all of which, incidentally, are high on the list in Dave Barry's Book of Bad Songs. On the other hand, I had to hand it to them for making "Sailing" by Christopher Cross Number One. So shoot me, I love that song.

I like disco, too. Back in the 70s in Detroit it was seriously rebellious to like both rock and disco.

I admit to liking "Mandy," especially after I heard it was about a dog.

I just listened to the "Sailing" clip and I can't even remember hearing it before, although I must have.

I was ambivalent about Elton John in the 70s, but I'm liking him more and more.
