Some might debate exactly what disco music is. Here I use it to refer to something that can probably not be taken as anything but disco. I was suprised to hear a lot of rapping (as sung by Grandmaster Flash and Run DMC). They also played a fair amount of new wave: Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Bronski beat. They even played one of my favorites by the B52's, Clair from planet Blair. (Maybe not the exact name.) I was with a friend from New York who found the Palace to quite a contrast to NY discos. She thought the NY discos where much more mainstream and that you had to behave much more conservatively. The people at the Palace where dressed ranging from punk to new wave to elegant to casual and it didn't matter much who with or how you danced. There where guys dancing by them selves which I haven't seen often. It was was an enjoyable evening. ....Laurence UCLA-CS Dept. {ihnp4,cepu,ucbvax,sdcrdcf}!ucla-cs!lund
