Article About Local Discos

An article about local discos characterized uncle sam’s as “the teen-ager’s disco,” with 90 percent carded at the door. It drew 500 people on weekday nights and up to 1,000 on weekend nights. The article reported that 60 percent of the music was rock ‘n’ roll and 40 percent disco, with more slow songs than at most discos. [I remember a tradition of a kiss at the end of every slow song.] (Minneapolis Tribune, November 4, 1977)
