“Disco was the revolution. Disco was freedom, togetherness, love. Disco was dirty, spiritual, thrilling, powerful. Disco was secret, underground, dangerous. It was non-blond, queer, hungry. It was emancipation.
Before commercial success twisted the music into a polyester perversion on itself and wrenched the scene out of New York’s gay underground only to drop it into the funkless lap of mainstream America, disco was the hottest, sexiest, most redeeming and most deeply loving dance music there has been. It relied on phenomenal musicianship, it was often poetic and highly lyrical, it could be as experimental and as profound as it wanted, and it was always funky beyond the cause of duty.
As much as disco was glitzy and certainly loved celebrity culture, there was never a sense of it being driven by that. It was much more driven by an underground idea of unity. The manifesto was the music. Love Is The Message.”
