Nope, wouldn't of bought it because I refused to spend $$$ on disco music and but for 1 or 2 exceptions within the past decade, still haven't to this day. I was a part of the movement back then to boycott disco. If you didn't buy it, it would go away.
I would get very angry with my friends, who had to bribe me and physically drag me (kicking and screaming, no lie) to Saturday afternoon disco lessons, and weekend evenings to the juice bar, 'Smiles' discoteque in 'Webstah'.
Probably less than 20 disco songs I liked and are those I still do like. Was a huge fan of Andy Gibb.
Framptom, The Who, Neil Young, CSN, Starship, GL (of course), Bad Company, Paul Simon, Led Zepplin, Elton John, Bily Joel, Nilsson and all the female folkies (especially Janis Ian & Joni Mitchell). I was also listening to all the oldies (any and all)I could, soul, some pop, big band, country, old Motown and was into bluegrass.
Bought my 1st guitar in '78 after a summer in the YCC. We weren't hearing much disco yet and that was the summer of 'Grease'.
So only a slim chance that Lightfoot+disco would have done it for me. Acoustic guitar was my thing. It was Lightfoot's guitar-playing that influenced my wanting to pick to begin with and ultimately, influenced my picking technique and stlye. That may have been lost altogether had he gone disco.
UGH especially if he dressed like that...no way. (as was my teenage mindset at the time) Jeans only, and Frye boots, sandals, barefoot, etc. (Andy and Elton were exempt) and no platform shoes!
I was a pinball player though..so if he had a disco song about pinball, that would have been ok.
