Disco stays alive at local bar
By Joel Strauch
Senior Reporter
The light bounces off the disco
ball, illuminating the room sporadi
cally.
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.”
