I always liked that song.

Back when that song was popular (I think I was about 15?), I used to like to go for really long bike rides. I was lucky that I lived in the country and there were all kinds of dirt roads to ride on. My one favorite led down to the Blacklick Creek where there was an old settlement called Red Mill. I think there used to be a grist mill there. The old iron bridge was still there. We were only brave enough to go across the bridge and then back again. If we took the dirt road to its end we would have wound up on US RT 422 and about 7 miles from the house. Then we would have been in trouble

I hated that song. it dripped with sugar syrup. such flaccid rock and disco drove me to the brink of mass murder in the 70's. face it, if there weren't any les pauls and/or strats on the stage back then, was it really rock and roll?

Our subdivision at the time was surrounded by either corn fields or woods. In the woods we had trails that went around a stream. We were bored one day and just decided to follow the stream and see where it went. After a long ways we found a small waterfall and the water was deeper so we rested and took a dip. The water was so clear you could see crawfish on the bottom.

We decided to keep going and the stream widened to almost like a flood plane. It ended up going through a farm. All the sudden someone started yelling at us to get the hell out of there! There were several Black men holding rifles. Get the hell out of here now! 

We turned around and ran to go back and while we were running they shot several shots in the air (I am guessing) as a warning. I don't think we ever moved that fast...

I have to say that back then everything was still mostly segregated where we were. Me and a friend also use to sit outside the Black church and listen to them on Sundays. We hated our church, it was so boring. The closest we could get was sitting across the street and listen to them. Eventually they called us over to see what we were doing. We told them and they talked to us for a while and said it was ok. ( I guess it freaked them out a little, two white boys sitting and staring at their church) They were really nice though and let us look inside.

I was a nerd and a sheltered kid. My dad liked to listen to AM radio for country music and news. My mom rarely listened to the radio except in the car. I really didn't know what radio stations the kids were listening to until high school when I started paying attention to what other people were saying around me.

We were getting into the seventies rock. I just learned to appreciate the not so subtle subtleties.  Haha

It was on the radio all the time. I remember hearing it when we went on our beach vacation. Every radio on the beach would end up playing that at one time or another.

You probably scared the hell out of those farmers.

I probably would have stopped at the waterfall and not left until it was time to go home for supper.

My brother, me, and our friends built a dam on the creek that ran between the pasture and the barn. We built it where there was a waterfall so we could build a swimming hole. It was a pretty good feat of engineering for 9-10 year olds. Anyway, Dad is bringing the cows down out of the pasture and he notices that the creek is drying up, but we had had rain, so he didn't know what was going on. He walks up the creek until he reaches our swimming hole about a 1/4 mile up the creek. He looks at, smiles, then sadly destroys it. He told us he was very impressed with our dam building skills but he needed that water for the cows. That's probably why I didn't become an engineer.

I used to enjoy watching "y'all" do stupid shit and wondering about it too! We just could not place you guys back then! But then, Joni Mitchell captured my heart and something that I had been hearing back then on the radio waves - fell into place. I wonder if it was the same the other way around. Well, . . . if it was'nt that's okay too!

I love the death out of discos - cut many 'teeth' on it too. But, rockers detested disco and Depeche Mode!

I remember when I was very young, and didn’t know what records were.  I was surprised to find out that radio stations didn’t have a long line of bands waiting to set up and play a song live to be broadcast over the radio.  I probably shouldn’t even admit that.  Lol.

No assumptions CB! My husband and I are both "rockers" and we LOVE disco! I caught him dancing to ABBA while vacuuming the ceiling... yes, he was vacuuming the ceiling.

When we were in St. Croix for our honeymoon, we were chilling in the sea with the large group of gay and lesbian people that travel there every year [about the same time every year]. My husband had to use the restroom... while he'd been in there, we got talking about disco and when my husband came back, one of the guys asked him, "Is disco dead"? My husband replied, "Hell no! I love me some ABBA!" The guy declared, "That's it! Even the straight people say disco's not dead! Disco will live forever!" We had so much fun!

Southern Black Baptist Churches always looked like it was a blast to me! Not boring like Roman or Polish Catholic or White Northern Baptist, etc. where you get a good nap during mass. People in Southern Baptist Churches were moved by the preacher, excited to be there, sang with the choir and appreciated the extended family. It's joyful and passionate. I don't know... maybe I'm just naïve.

Yes! Everything you stated about the Black church experience is real. Lots of singing, praising, in some "rolling," but always praising no matter the form loud, moaning, or quiet. To be clear, it does not make us any more sanctimonious/set apart than other godly people. . . but boy O boy is there a mighty 'cloud' of expression in the Black church! A mighty noise!

It was not until I got (much) older, that I realized that nice as music/gospel/voice expressions are- really, it does not take all that to get spiritually 'close' to God! (But, it is a genuine expression, nevertheless.)

I had moved back to Chicago after graduating HS in Ft. Wayne, IN. In 76, my girlfriend worked as an accountant for the LOOP radio station and we went to concerts every weekend.

I actually got tired of it...Eddy Money's concert was my last straw. NO MAS! 

We went on a fishing and camping jag. If you could get there and back from Chicago in a weekend, we went there.

When we were young we use to get stoned, grab a beverage and go explore.

One time we ended up driving through a mental institution. When we first drove in a man was standing in a running stance, completely still, was odd to say the least. It was really cool though because it consisted of a cluster of old brick buildings surrounded by small, one lane winding roads.

Eventually got stopped by a security guard and showed him my MS license and told him we were sight seeing from out of town. Haha

He told us to leave immediately.

I don't get completely broken up by celebrities dying. I don't know them in real life. I don't know, maybe that makes me cold... but when it comes to people I know, it's different. The moment I heard about my friend Laura's husband dying [he was someone that my husband and I worked with a lot at AMG], I was not only shocked, but as I was telling my husband, I started sobbing. It's just different for me.

OHIO PLAYERS - I WANT TO BE FREE 1974

A young "CB" slow-dragging at the house party or sitting with a "doobie" high and a mint gin listening to a song about being free-thinking about FREEDOM to be me. Never crossed my mind at the time the duality of adults writing songs for teenagers and grown folks. (Chuckles.) Marriage and "break-up" was not even on my radar!

A young CB loved this classic song. It was not until I got much, much, older did I realize this song is about a one-night stand! "Reasons." When a song is done so well that it flips from number 1 to time-less,  it's poetry that sustains it!

I got blue, cried then, and I am crying now due to the angst in this song. You ever have those songs you have to leave alone -everything falls into place in it, and they clutch your heart (too tight)? This is one such falling off the cliff song - stops me in my tracks! I will hear these notes and lyrics against a riot and a cacophony of sounds!

Most of my black friends liked Rare Earth, Blood, Sweat and Tears and believe it or not, Jefferson Airplane. White Rabbit was a favorite. 

When Bill Withers came out with his 'Just as I am' album, EVERYONE knew every word to every song. At the lunch joints, when 'Ain't no sunshine' would come on the jute box, everyone would stop talking and start singing. We tried to get the choir director to let us sing it at a concert but he nixed it. He let us sing 'Spinning wheel' by Blood, Sweat and Tears though...

I remember when I first heard "Dancing Queen," in a disco and I mean everybody hit the dance floor. (Well not everybody, but you get my drift!) I thought it was the blandest, ugliest song I had ever heard. Then, it clicked on me and I came to love it. I found out later that ABBA was one of the world bands in Europe in the 70's. They were making beaucoup dollars!

I KNEW IT. I knew a "disco sucks" dude was here somewhere! The People's Fish was another "Rock N Roll Rules!" member. I know that last thing, because he used to show up on my disco "projects" here and pen such statements. I love me some Rock n Roll music too!

Disco was/is fun and appealed to the rhythm found in feet!  Anywho, who could resist a sparkly bright ball casting stars everywhere in the room.

ABBA could do some decent disco

No such thing as decent disco.

Too cruel a statement. It would be like saying that Rock N Roll is bogus electric guitar. Nothing could be farther from the truth. People's lives were affected, 'molested,' and memories for life made in a discoteque.

Most of you are just too young.  When I was a kid we had the early rock and roll groups, and Elvis, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, the Beach Boys, the Beatles, the Four Seasons, Jan and Dean, Aretha Franklin, all the fantastic Motown groups, naming some of the wonderful music that filled our lives.  Summer was about going to the beach as often as possible.  On the first day of summer it was mandatory to walk barefoot to the store and burn the soles of our feet so bad that we ended up with thick calluses and didn't wear shoes again until summer was over.  Those were the days.

After as a child having lived for a while on a rocky road (alley), I know something about hot, occasionally sharp and uneven, ground. Every now and then you would hear a rock shoot out from under a moving car tire as it creeped in and out of there!

Can you hear that sound of a car driving down a rocky road? Yeah, boy.

I'm not referring to flood waters.  I'm referring to flooded engines.  That doesn't happen with cars anymore.  Maybe you're too young to remember?  If you google "flooded engine" you will see a description of it.  You had to keep the car in park with the engine on and the accelerator pedal pushed to the floor to clear it and get the car started.

HA! Us 'old timers" still talk about flooding an engine, by over-pressing the gas pedal! Even remember hot days (to this day I crack my windows) when car windows would bust out from the internal pressure. We used to let the car sit to clear the excess gas.

Do the engines you try to repair flood all the time after you work on them?

Also don't need to be old to have dealt with a flooded carburetor either. Although, one might need to be into classic cars if that person is younger.
