00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:29.840
You

00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:34.920
I

3
00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:00.000


4
00:01:14.860 --> 00:01:17.600
Surprisingly no one was seriously hurt during the melee

5
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:30.040
I

6
00:02:11.340 --> 00:02:12.740
I

7
00:02:58.580 --> 00:02:59.980
I

8
00:03:01.620 --> 00:03:03.020
I

9
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:30.060
I

00:03:46.200 --> 00:03:50.240
Channel 2 News

11
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:50.260
I

12
00:03:52.100 --> 00:03:59.240
Would awaken in the morning with the loop spend over a quarter million dollars airing this TV commercial last spring

13
00:03:59.240 --> 00:04:00.820
The model's name is Lorelei

14
00:04:00.820 --> 00:04:07.420
She's from California and most viewers probably noticed the station's call letters on her t-shirt

15
00:04:07.420 --> 00:04:12.340
But the loop denies the obvious you have people will comment about that

16
00:04:12.340 --> 00:04:15.720
But I think the production of the spot was the thing that stood out

17
00:04:16.260 --> 00:04:20.220
Where the camera goes in and focuses on her lips as she lip-syncs?

18
00:04:20.240 --> 00:04:25.060
Air check the radio station, and I think that was the main thing that caught the people's attention

19
00:04:25.060 --> 00:04:28.880
I don't think it was so much you know her physical attributes that did it

20
00:04:33.500 --> 00:04:38.740
More than just a robust woman in a t-shirt to loop as a morning man with a cause

21
00:04:38.740 --> 00:04:46.240
His name is Steve doll and his gimmick has been to lead a frontal attack on disco music and the disco culture

22
00:04:50.840 --> 00:04:56.980
As you might imagine Steve doll does not have one of those little plastic membership cards to faces

23
00:05:17.060 --> 00:05:22.180
So it was really no surprise to his fans that Steve dolls Kamiski Park

24
00:05:22.180 --> 00:05:26.960
Anti-disco promotion last night capped by the blowing up of a stack of disco fans

25
00:05:26.960 --> 00:05:26.960


26
00:05:26.960 --> 00:05:26.960


27
00:05:26.960 --> 00:05:26.960


28
00:05:26.960 --> 00:05:26.960


29
00:05:26.960 --> 00:05:29.340
Disco records turned into a riot

30
00:05:31.700 --> 00:05:38.180
And the loop staff seemed to enjoy watching videotape replays of the event at the station today

31
00:05:38.180 --> 00:05:45.880
They know the whole thing can't hurt them in an era when notoriety can equal even better ratings for the loop

32
00:05:45.880 --> 00:05:49.480
Still Steve doll was a little contrite about it today

33
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:56.340
I tried to poke a light-hearted thought at the whole thing because it really is an anti very strong anti-disco sentiment among

34
00:05:56.340 --> 00:06:00.440
listeners and that's what we were doing now

35
00:06:01.020 --> 00:06:05.940
Because they got too high because they got to whatever to worked up there were people

36
00:06:07.220 --> 00:06:10.740
Rushed out on the field and were crazed and they shouldn't have done it

37
00:06:12.080 --> 00:06:18.440
Steve doll was to appear at a Chicago night spot tonight for another of his series of anti-disco happenings

38
00:06:18.440 --> 00:06:26.060
But given what happened last night doll says he's decided to stay home and listen to the skips and his old Rolling Stones albums

39
00:06:26.340 --> 00:06:28.780
I think one thing probably ought to be pointed out here

40
00:06:28.780 --> 00:06:33.280
It's awfully easy when you look at something like that to say everybody was a bad guy

41
00:06:33.280 --> 00:06:40.180
As Greg pointed out seven to ten thousand out of a crowd of fifty five thousand inside and several thousand more outside

42
00:06:40.180 --> 00:06:44.800
So they're probably just some nice kids out there who got caught up in it too. But obviously

43
00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:46.140
and anytime you

44
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:26.320
Wait

45
00:07:26.340 --> 00:07:27.220
Oh

46
00:07:48.620 --> 00:07:53.380
The owner of the white dot bill Beck pleaded with the crowd to disperse

47
00:07:56.740 --> 00:08:03.540
Finally a team of riot-equipped Chicago police went over the field and moved towards the remaining crowd in their bonfire

48
00:08:04.140 --> 00:08:08.800
Most of that crowd quickly regained control and ran for the fan

49
00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:14.220
The arrival of the police was applauded by the 40,000 or more who remained in their seats

50
00:08:14.220 --> 00:08:18.820
The second game between the White Sox and Detroit Tigers was canceled

51
00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:22.380
Ron Miller ABC News Chicago

52
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:29.560
A

53
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:31.340
Warm night a packed house

54
00:08:31.340 --> 00:08:36.820
But very quickly most of them had gotten in cheap just 98 cents in a disco record

55
00:08:36.820 --> 00:08:39.900
Part of a promotional stunt by a local radio station

56
00:08:43.540 --> 00:08:51.060
So many came to see that station's disc jockey destroyed disco records that the old part quickly filled overflowing almost

57
00:08:51.060 --> 00:08:55.100
50,000 people inside at least 10,000 others outside turned away

58
00:08:55.320 --> 00:09:02.120
Some angry and frustrated scaled turnstiles and ran onto the field where they were quickly joined by others

59
00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:03.860
And here's all looked on

60
00:09:14.540 --> 00:09:23.500
There were no serious injuries but riot-equipped police made 29 arrests for disorderly conduct with most of the crowd cheering as the arrest

61
00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:31.400
Six-dollar boxy it gets twice what a record once with a lit cigarette firecrackers going off in two seats

62
00:09:31.400 --> 00:09:34.080
You can see a few other people come back to this ballpark

63
00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:37.080
They think that's what I come here to a ballgame for that's their business

64
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:42.140
They can have this business all the time they want but that is not what I come to a ballgame for almost an absolute

65
00:09:42.140 --> 00:09:45.480
And torn umpire said it was unfit

66
00:09:45.480 --> 00:09:46.860
second game

Bob Paul CBS News Chicago

68
00:09:52.220 --> 00:09:55.080
Coming up on 19 minutes past the hour now

69
00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:06.380
Banging on doors jumping turnstiles and storming the park

70
00:10:06.380 --> 00:10:12.840
Inside FM radio DJ Steve Dahl was about to preside over the blowing up of some disco records

71
00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:18.860
After several explosions went off several thousand fans started pouring onto the field and wouldn't leave

72
00:10:18.860 --> 00:10:25.460
Estimates say between seven to ten thousand people wound up on the field and the crowd was largely out of control

73
00:10:25.460 --> 00:10:29.000
Arrests were made those arrested taken to 11th and state

74
00:10:29.560 --> 00:10:31.080
by the time it was

75
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:34.560
I'd like to get a shit. Can I get a shot of you in the back here?

76
00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:51.080
Except for some

77
00:10:52.860 --> 00:10:55.100
I'll do whatever you want. You know

78
00:10:55.100 --> 00:10:57.380
Just as long as they spell your name wrong

79
00:10:57.380 --> 00:10:58.740
the old adage

80
00:11:01.560 --> 00:11:03.400
I'm embarrassed as I said

81
00:11:06.860 --> 00:11:08.460
Objectively apologetic for having

82
00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:13.940
Before they could finally clear the field nothing the white should have reacted

83
00:11:14.740 --> 00:11:18.480
But I think when the pattern was there that it happened the other two times

84
00:11:18.860 --> 00:11:20.520
They had that same type of production

85
00:11:21.680 --> 00:11:27.380
It should have been better prepared. I said this morning on the air. I said hey look, you know, we had it

86
00:11:27.380 --> 00:11:29.740
Most of us had a real good time out there last night

87
00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:34.540
unfortunately, there was a problem on the field as you all know and

88
00:11:34.540 --> 00:11:37.960
Hey, you know, it doesn't help anything. It just it's gonna

89
00:11:38.820 --> 00:11:42.020
It's gonna make it tougher for us to do more things like this in the future

90
00:11:43.380 --> 00:11:45.520
You get hurt you get arrested

91
00:11:45.520 --> 00:11:53.260
Of course that you end up with a promotion because you know for a game you have to feel that you did more than a little wrong

92
00:11:54.300 --> 00:11:56.660
I would only like to apologize

93
00:11:57.320 --> 00:12:03.340
to the players and and even more importantly almost to the fans who come and support us regularly

94
00:12:04.360 --> 00:12:08.280
Bruce we were out here this morning dad myself at about 20 after 5 and

95
00:12:09.160 --> 00:12:14.100
I can say that after last night it as far as the groundkeepers concerned. It was a nightmare

96
00:12:14.100 --> 00:12:18.400
What would you have to do? Well, we had to put in about 170 yards a side

97
00:12:19.020 --> 00:12:23.020
I because they got to whatever to worked up. There were people

98
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:30.860
Then rushed out on the field and were crazed and they shouldn't have done it. The White Sox would undoubtedly agree the

99
00:12:37.920 --> 00:12:40.860
At the beginning Johnny Morrison was forced

100
00:12:40.860 --> 00:12:44.880
Well, as you probably saw earlier in our newscast a mob scene between games

101
00:12:44.880 --> 00:12:50.760
So the second game was postponed until Sunday after Detroit won the opener 4-1 the crowd a full house of approximately

102
00:12:50.760 --> 00:12:57.440
49,000 fans the first game was all Tigers as Fred Howard lost the pat under with this triple by Tom

103
00:12:57.440 --> 00:13:02.660
Brookings drove home the eventual winning run in the second the Tigers led to nothing went on to win in a breeze by a final

104
00:13:02.660 --> 00:13:09.360
Four to one everything was calm before that for you or the backfire and the Cubs had their game delayed

105
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:11.980
Kenny Holson is picking for Chicago that game is scoreless

106
00:13:11.980 --> 00:13:18.420
But all the activities happening out the clean game did on team night WLUP held a disco

107
00:13:18.420 --> 00:13:23.120
Demonstration we'll talk about that a little bit more to the game to love pencil out there

108
00:13:25.620 --> 00:13:33.340
As we said between game activities the main attraction the disco demolition spearheaded by morning radio man Steve

109
00:13:33.340 --> 00:13:37.640
And his anti-disco army called the insane coval lip earlier

110
00:13:37.640 --> 00:13:40.860
I asked Steve just what he has against disco

111
00:13:40.860 --> 00:13:45.680
Well, the first thing I have against it is that I can never find a white three-piece suit that fits me off the rack

112
00:13:45.680 --> 00:13:53.900
So I hate to taste the pina coladas. I don't I'm allergic to gold jewelry. So there's nothing there for me

113
00:13:53.900 --> 00:13:57.140
I'm a cheap skate. I don't like to waste a lot of money at home

114
00:13:57.140 --> 00:14:01.100
You know in terms of my electrical bill and you have to spend so much time blow-drying your hair

115
00:14:01.100 --> 00:14:06.900
It's a waste of energy, okay, I'm ecologically meaningful and cheap so I'm not into it

116
00:14:06.900 --> 00:14:11.100
I'd like to if I could show you how we destroy the disco record

117
00:14:12.800 --> 00:14:15.220
And this is how I do it

118
00:14:17.520 --> 00:14:21.420
Yeah, I can't myself Koho lips Koho lips

119
00:14:21.580 --> 00:14:23.220
And then I just

120
00:14:26.180 --> 00:14:27.620
That felt good

121
00:14:28.520 --> 00:14:34.580
Well worthy of the call you we have other baseball news today the Cubs after a long rain delay in Cincinnati are

122
00:14:45.740 --> 00:14:51.380
Forfeited after all it's been postponed until Sunday Sunday, so we didn't lose the game

123
00:14:51.580 --> 00:14:57.480
Not yet. Anyway, that's it for this Thursday night. I'm Terry Murphy and I'm Joel Daly. Thank you for joining us

124
00:14:57.480 --> 00:15:00.100
We'll be back tomorrow at 5 6 and 10. Good night
