I'm lost Paul :-? What are you talking about?

Over at Salon.com they posted an article labled Camille Paglia's disco playlist. Camille among other things, is a professor of humanities and media as well as a frequent commentator on the social and political issues of the day. She can be seen and heard on various programs. She is also a feminist who last time I heard still liked men
So back to disco. The post had her list of what she considered important songs pre, post, and during discos prime. Many readers responded negatively to her selections. I in turn (hope ya don't mind :D ) invited these people to visit your website and share there thoughts on disco. I also gave 'em my name so they can use me as a point of reference to praise or cuss at 8)

Paul, It is I, Leclerc from ze Café René .

Now I know La Paglia, in fact she's the only feminist I can more or less stand. But her's is not a Disco list IMHO, more a potpourri of Soul, Funk, Disco, Dance and 80's Humbug :lol:

Idea! In case she visits this topic, let's place some scandalous pics of half naked women :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hey Johan, I specifically invited Camille.
I like your idea. Who's our first naked woman :lol:

Paul,

The more people the merrier so I certainly don't mind. Spread the Disco gospel and be healed!

It's been a while since I've seen Camille Paglia on TV, but I do like some of her sensibilities. Never knew she was into Disco though. I'd love to see that list. Is there a link to it?

[Videoskooter]

I'd want to launch the offensive but....what if this happens?




:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

Ok, Never mind :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hey Camille, THIS IS DISCO!

Johan Camille, here are some of my favorites. BTW, that Silver Convention must be a euro version. I don't remember that on that album. 8)

[neonlights]

Interesting list. I knew she'd fit in some Madge on there.. but No Chic!? :o Probably the first "disco" list without them, I guess she wasn't a fan. I was a bit surprised to find Rick James on there though. I didn't think he had many fans among feminists haha..

Dead or Alive with Pete Best: "You Spin Me Round"

Pete Best!? :lol:
