Do hippies even exist?

[Breukelen advocaat]

You make it seem like people really didn't like disco, that the government put them up to it, in order to draw attention away from the hippies.

The "Hippie" stuff was pretty-much long gone by the time Disco came around. I can't see how the "government" had anything to do with the popularity of Disco.

I remember the filming of Saturday Night Fever in my neighborhood, and others, in Brooklyn, c. 1976. I didn't like very much of it, but there were, and still are, worse forms of "rock".

This ain't no party, this ain't no disco,
this ain't no fooling around
No time for dancing, or lovey dovey,
I ain't got time for that now
