How I spent part of my weekend

SULLY BASEBALL HONORS... The Thirtieth Anniversary of Disco Demolition Night

I remember watching the WBZ-4 coverage of this event when I was 7 years old.

I saw a riot in Comiskey Park and a fire on the field. I asked my dad "What caused that explosion?"

He replied, "They blew up a lot of records."

It almost seemed like a Non Sequitur. But being a second grader, I didn't know what Non Sequitur meant, so I nodded my head thinking when I got older, I'd understand.

I'm 30 years older and the events of July 12, 1979 still don't make a lick of sense.

As Dan Cronin, the brilliant Emmy winning writer for Conan O'Brien wrote to me "OK, we get it, you don't like disco. Put down the f-ckin dynamite!"

When stupidity reaches this level, it almost comes full circle to genius.

Almost... but not quite.
