Disco STILL sucks!

Here's why:
My copy of A Bigger Bang arrived in the mail at my temporary home while I was evacuated from New Orleans during the month after Hurricane Katrina. Not having a CD player to use while I was away from home, I decided to play it upon my return.
I arrived home, thirty-three days after the storm, to a flat that had minimal damage and no flooding. There were just a few die-hard residents of the French Quarter that returned on the first day back. The rest of the population was military police, national guard, rescue workers, etc.
The first thing I did after arriving home was open all the doors & windows to get rid of that funky smell, and then I cranked up the CD player at full volume.
It only took the first few notes of Rough Justice before I started hearing shouts of approval from people in the street. No one complained about the loud music that could be heard from a block or two away. It actually seemed to lift the mood for the people walking by my flat.
