People take to the floor dressed in clothes that no one should be buried in and dance in ways not seen in the past 20 years. The arms of the crowd spell to the sounds of the Village People’s “YMCA.” No, you haven’t stepped into a time machine and leaped back into the veritable heart of the 1970s. You walked into the Hurricane, 1118 O St. on a Thursday night, Disco Night. Jake Goehring, a bartender for the Hurricane, said Thursday night was the busiest night of the week for the club. “It fills up around 10:30 p.m.,” Goehring said, “and they stay here ‘til last call.” Dale Young, the KLDZ disc jockey who hosts Disco Night, said Thurs days at the Hurricane were unbeliev able. “It’s huge,” he said. “Six hundred or 700 people show up, and it keeps getting bigger.” There are a lot of reasons to ex plain the incurable bout of Thursday Night Fever that Lincoln is suffering from. Troy “Bubba” Way, the Hurricane manager, said it was because the music was so danceable. “It may be a fad people are going through,” Way said, “but it’s really good for us.” Goehring said the appeal stemmed from the fact that the music was so different from everywhere else. “There’s a lot of flashback stuff,” he said. “People hear songs they used to hear on the radio as kids and dance or sing along.” Young agreed that people came for the nostalgia. “It’s music that everyone knows the words to and can sing along with,” he said. Most of the people there said they were trying to reclaim a bit of the past or were just checking out the atmo sphere. Kathy Frizzell of Lincoln said disco was her brand of music. “I grew up listening to it,” Frizzell said. Frizzell also came to see what people were wearing. “There’s quite a weird assort ment of people in here,” she said. “There are people who weren ’t even born in the ’70s, and they are dress ing ’70s.” Jeri Weberg of Lincoln came to the Hurricane because she heard it was Disco Night on the radio. “My mom used to teach disco,” Weberg said, “so I really know the music.” But not everyone showed up for the music. Tim Decker of Lincoln said he would rather listen to Pearl Jam. “I’m not into disco, but I’ll toler ate it for the $2 pitchers before 9 o’clock,” he said. “It’s kind of lame, nothing like a mosh pit.” “This is Disco Night?” he asked. Young had an explanation for the recent disco revival. “It seems like the music of 20 years ago is what’s it,” he said. “In the ’80s, the ’60s was it. And now it’s the ’70s.” OMAHA • LINCOLN • BELLEVUE GRETNA • COUNCIL BLUFFS ADVERTISED TITLES ON SALE THROUCH 3/2/95 IN LINCOLN: Downtown 16th 1637 "P" Street MUZE location Edgeweod 5200 South 56th Street Downtown 14th 1339 "O" Street MUZE location East 6105 "O" Street MUZE location East Park Plaza 220 North 66th Street Van Dorn 2711 South 48th Street IN GRETNA: Nebraska Crossing 14333 South Highway 31 IN OMAHA: Old Market 1114 Howard Street MUZE location Miracle Hills 666 North 114th Street MUZE location Orchard Plaza 2457 South 132nd Street MUZE location Plena North 5403 North 90th Street Millard 13830 "T" Plaza IN BELLEVUE: Bellevue 1015 Galvin Road South IN IOWA: Council Bluffs 1730 Madison Avenue MUZE location
