LED ZEPPELIN dropped a rough take of "In The Evening" ahead of the In Through the Out Door resissue.

DISCO DEMOLITION NIGHT: Sunday was the anniversary of Disco Demolition Night, a promo event occurring during a scheduled twi-nite doubleheader between the Chicago White Sox and the Detroit Tigers that would prove to be the most ill-conceived promotional idea since the infamous "Ten Cent Beer Night" in Cleveland in 1974. Though some incorrectly think it had to do with racism, homophobia, etc., the event had much more to do with the fact that Chicago radio station WDAI forced out morning host Steve Dahl o­n Chirstmas Eve 1978, to switch to a disco format. A man who is cashiered wearing a Santa suit tends to carry a grudge. A few months later Dahl re-surfaced at WLUP with "Do You Think I'm Disco?" -- a parody of Rod Stewart's "Do You Think I'm Sexy?" with lyrics that targeted yuppie narcissism and materialism. He also did a bit where he pretended to blow-up disco records, which Mike Veeck, the son of Sox owner (and legendary showman) Bill Veeck, thought could be turned into a promotion in which admission was 98 cents (because WLUP was FM 98) for anyone who brought a disco record to be blown up between the two games. It was far more successful and less controllable than either Dahl or Veeck imagined, with young people storming the park to enter, creating a fog of marijuana smoke in the stands, sailing records like frisbees, throwing firecrackers and ultimately storming the diamond after the scheduled demolition had concluded and Dahl was en route to the announcer's booth for the second game. Footage of the event from from stellamasters, along with the aftermath at FuzzyMemories and this compilation of local news coverage from the night is pretty darned good, with cameos from Bill Kurtis and Greg Gumbel.

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Minions dominated the chart with 115MM, exceeding even tarcking estimates of 100MM.That's the second-best animated opening, behind Shrek the Third. This spinoff cost only 75MM to make, so it's likely to profit in theaters.  Jurassic World places with 18.1MMon a 38 percent drop; the dinos haven't dropped 50 percent once, even after a 208MM debut.That's impressive.  Inside Out shows with 17.1MM on a 43 percent drop, which ain't bad in light of the animated competition.  Pixar's latest has a shot at tying Finding Nemo's impressive take before its done.  Terminator: Genisys takes the fourth slot with 13.7MM on a 49 percent drop, confirming that this one will likely kill the franchise.  The Gallows' debut rounds out the Top 5 with 10MM against a 1MM budget, with this apparently awful film confirming the market will always be there for horror flicks. Teens gotta clutch teens in the dark.  Below the fold, Self/Less flames out in eighth place; Ryan Reynolds better hope Deadpool s a hit.
