The Major’s Friday Night Disco Party

The first time this single was released here in the U.S. it was surprisingly a retail and radio flop. It didn’t even reach the TOP 40. And then came along the release of the box office smash “Saturday Night Fever” at the end of 1977. It was included on that movie’s Grammy award-winning hit soundtrack album, radio eventually picked up on it, and it became a TOP 15 pop radio smash and eventual longstanding anthem of the disco music era.

These are The Trammps out of Philadelphia Pennsylvania, and this is their HOT disco smash from the Spring of 1978 – “Disco Inferno”. BURN BABY BURN !

Thursday Night Mini Thoughts

It’s time for the most spontaneous blog series of the week:

– My work week is done and over with.
– My extended 87-hour 4TH of July holiday weekend has begun.
– Next week will be a long and hectic work week for me.
– I’m actually looking forward to the intense action and excitement.
– Tomorrow afternoon I have a 4 to 6 hour appointment here at home.
– It’s with AT&T, and they will be here to install U-Verse in my home.
– I’m dropping Comcast just as soon as AT&T gets my TV and Internet up.
– Comcast has been my TV and Internet provider for nearly 3 years.
– They took over when Adelphia went away in October 2006.
– I’m looking forward to the new TV technology here in my home.
– I’ll be learning how to use all of my new equipment for the rest of the weekend.
– It’ll take me all weekend to check out my 220 or so digital channels.
– I went to Publix on my way home from work this afternoon.
– Publix is my playground.
– I’m happy and I know it, so I clap my hands – at Publix.
– It has a lot to do with the loud hit music that they play all throughout the joint.
– But really – it’s the food that’s screaming at me to buy it.
– I hear voices from both sides of the aisles – “BUY ME !!!”
– Be sure to hit up this blog tomorrow night for something new that’s old.
– It’s the series premiere of ‘The Major’s Friday Night Disco Party’.
– I’ll kick it off with one of the greatest disco music anthems of the time.
– Feel free to wear your favourite leisure suit to the party.
– You won’t regret it pal.
– But until then – REMEMBER THIS:

My Fantastic Journey: It’s In The Lyrics

The first few times that I heard this jam on the radio I thought that it was the hot new breakout smash from Homestead Florida‘s very own The Saturn Project featuring this cool dude and this crazy cat. As it turns out it’s actually the umpteenth hit single from International supergroup U2.

Bono, The Edge, Adam, and Larry have been together collectively as a band for the past third of a century (since 1976), and this latest jam sounds very retro. It could quite easily be mixed in with all of their other legendary radio hits of the early-to-mid-1980s that made U2 a household name. It’s from their current studio album “No Line On The Horizon”. It’s all about the love that exists for the “Magnificent” One – The Lord Almighty. Only love can leave such a mark. Only love can heal such a scar. Justified till we die. You and I will magnify the “Magnificent”. It’s in the lyrics:
