I borrowed this from another poster here on You Tube, though this is only the end of the interview, the part featuring Steve Dahl ( for the rest of the interview go to http://www.youtube.com/willg550187415 ) from shortly after Disco Demolition Night at Comiskey Park in Chicago. It's interesting that Tom Snyder called Disco Demolition a 'riot' even though there were only a few arrests compared to the amount of people on the field, and only minor injuries. It was certainly an out-of-control event, but hardly a riot or hateful and violent event. There was certainly 'disorderly conduct' and 'vandalism' but that doesn't qualify it as a riot. The even weirder part is that Disco Demolition is perceived now, 30+ years later, by some as a racist or homophobic 'hate' event when the reality is that it was just a comedy bit and a reaction to the fad aspects of the disco scene. Steve was making fun of the snootier, superficial aspect of the fad (see "Do You Think I'm Disco" for more).
Classic Steve Dahl, and good interview from the late great Tom Snyder, as well as Meatloaf's reaction to Steve's comments about some of the musicians that Meatloaf says he knows personally.

awesome! Steve was almost skinny back then, especially next to meatloaf. Love the line about experimenting with drugs and the singing on helium. Insane coho lips. Tom Snyder smoking. And then Tom Snyder on helium! Great!
