Imagine if you will. July '79. . . .
by Chuck Evans "chucke@chucke.com" Lynnwood, WA USA
Reviewed on April 16th, 1999
Two weeks after disco demolition (the official beginning of the end of disco). The guest host of Midnight Special (on after Sat. nite live) was Mac Davis.On this particular night, Mr. Hip country himself all decked out in jeans and cowboy boots was proclaiming that a new wave of dance music was sweeping the ocean (right after the mud shark) and that music was disco! So on national TV, Mac Davis was going to shed his country ways and go DISCO! And as he started disrobing his country garb and draping his studly bod with polyester he started singing FRANK ZAPPA'S DANCIN FOOL!!!! For those of you looking to buy this cd, Dancin Fool (along with Zoot Alures - Disco Boy) is an extremely antidisco song. I can only imagine the joy FZ had cashing THAT royalty check! This album is superbly recorded, fine examples of polyrhythm/polymeter compositions, and comes close to replicating the energy that the touring band had.
