AMERICAN EXPERIENCE: The War On Disco

Premieres Monday, Oct. 30, 2023 at 9 p.m. on KPBS TV / PBS App. Explore the culture war that erupted over the rise of disco music. Originating in underground Black and gay clubs, disco unseated rock as America’s most popular music by the late 1970s. But many diehard rock fans viewed disco as shallow and superficial. The hostility came to a head on July 12, 1979, when a riot broke out at “Disco Demolition Night” at a baseball game in Chicago.

Lost in the Mainstream: The Commercialization of Music

American Experience presents a virtual PAST FORWARD conversation exploring how music is commodified and what is lost in the process. This conversation is inspired by our new film <a href="https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/war-disco/"><b><i>The War on Disco</i></b></a>, premiering MON, OCT 30 @ 9/8c on PBS, and then available to stream on our website and on the PBS app.<br/><br/>Panelists will discuss what is meant by "mainstream" culture, how an art form can move from its original context to a space of "broader" appeal, and the changes that the art form undergoes in this process. They will also explore the emotional and expressive importance of music to different cultures and individuals, and the sense of identity listeners invest in various styles and genres of music. The panel will examine whether music and art forms like it ultimately lose their authenticity and resonance when they enter into the mainstream.<br/><br/><b>Panelists:</b><br/><br/><b>Jefferson Cowie</b> is the James G.

Capitol riot arrests: Lakeland woman bragged on social media, FBI says

Social media postings led to the arrest of Lakeland resident Corinne Lee Montoni for allegedly taking part in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, as has been the case for many arrested in connection with the insurrection.
An affidavit submitted by an FBI agent includes a wealth of detail in Montoni’s own words, photos and videos suggesting she joined the invasion of the Capitol as part of an effort to disrupt certification of President Joe Biden’s election. FBI agents arrested Montoni on Tuesday at her South Lakeland home and charged her with four crimes related to the Jan. 6 insurrection.
