The Best of Bob Odenkirk - Drunk History
Комедия
Not only did Bob Odenkirk narrate the story of Disco Demolition Night, but he also played historical figures W.C. Minor and President Richard Nixon.
About Drunk History:
Based on the popular web series, Drunk History is the liquored-up narration of our nation's history. Host Derek Waters, along with an ever-changing cast of actors and comedians, travels across the country to present the rich tales that every city in this land has to offer. Booze helps bring out the truth. It's just that sometimes the truth is a little incoherent.

As someone who grew up listening to Steve Dahl on WCKG in the 90s/00s it's always fascinating to revisit the legendary shitshow that was Disco Demolition. Such a quintessentially Chicago event: a bullheaded half-joke with critically short-sighted planning that meets overwhelming public exuberance then ends with police violence and the White Sox getting hosed.

That’s awesome! When I was in college, a friend of mine introduced me to “Mr. Show”, which I instantly became a huge fan of (still am). Then, as I started researching his career, I realized he pretty much had a hand in practically every comedic thing I’ve ever loved in my life. Absolute comedy genius.

It is so special to have Bob Odenkirk narrate the Disco Demolition segment. As a 50 year Chicagoan, I too was a HUGE Steve Dahl fan, who got up on stage with my Beatle tribute band British Export at Sox Fest and sang.
What many don't realize is that this event was what primarily pushed disco underground and helped give birth to Chicago house music in 1983. Disco music didn't stop, but the term 'disco' disappeared overnight, and some radio stations with primarily Caucasian listeners stopped playing it, but stations with primarily Black audiences were still playing this style of music, only now it was referred to as 'soul'. And disco-style music was still being played in underground dance clubs (no longer called 'discos,' btw...) A lot of original Chicago house music was produced from reimagined disco tracks and baselines.

Yup, it’s kinda fascinating how disco demolition really helped shape house music into what it became. And electronic dance music as a whole as house in Chicago helped inspire techno develop in Detroit. I’ve seen Frankie Knuckles, the first house dj, in interviews explain how Chicago dance crowds were different than his native NY. To where they wanted that more raw sound so he learned to lean on more beats instrumental sounds and breaks from disco. He came to Chicago in 1977 and I wonder if Chicago crowds always preferred that more raw sound / high energy sound or if his clubs crowds taste changed after disco demolition. And if they themselves wanted to get past the commercial sound of some disco, I’m curious about that. Here is a quote from Frankie’s wiki page on how he basically helped create house music: “In the late 1970s, as disco faced challenges, Knuckles sought ways to keep the genre alive in Chicago. He began experimenting with re-edits of songs, extending intros and breaks, and adding new beats to rejuvenate old favorites.[9] These DJ alchemy experiments at the Warehouse laid the foundation for the emergence of house music.”
Jimmy McGill finally got that time machine.

Bob, only one small critique. All us kids in Chicagoland revered the famous/infamous Steve Dahl. Didn't you feel the need to point out that Mr. Dahl did not look stoner cool like this Mitch Hedberg look alike here. Nope, Steve Dahl weighed in at approximately 350+ lbs. (not that there's anything wrong with that). Actually, that night was probably the first time we saw the guy. Ah, Chicago. Great place to be from.. never to return.

Steve Dahl was actually pretty thin during this period. watch the actual footage.
I grew up in Detroit. The Tigers were playing the Sox that night and the game was televised here (not sure if both games were supposed to be shown, or if they were just going to show the second game). Back then George Kell and Al Kaline were the broadcasters. Al was every bit as disgusted as Jimmy Piersall, I'm sure George was too. I'm not sure if I was watching, but I've seen replays of the incident with their commentary (it's been a while). Steve Dahl started out in Detroit (as did Howard Stern, right around the time of this incident), so we were very familiar with his antics from his time on Detroit radio. One of the Detroit radio stations created a group called DREAD - Detroit Rockers Engaged in the Abolition of Disco. Listeners could get DREAD cards, and there were little perks you could get if you were a card-carrying member. Can't remember which station it was for sure, I think WRIF, and not sure if that was the station Dahl was on before he went to Chicago. Oh the memories!
The idea of Dave Grohl hanging with Elvis blows my mind.
wait a minute, they glossed over the most important part of w.c. minor's life, did he nail the widow?
Jack Black as Elvis is genius
