My uncle was a doorman and bartender at Studio 54. He is actually listed as one of the people being thanked by the owners in Ian Schrager's Studio 54 book. The stories are endless. My favorite is that one night after closing, around sunrise, Rubell was still hanging out with a few close guys and some of the workers. One of the guys still there was Calvin Klein. They were so loaded and wasted, Rubell and Klein peed on a pile of 100 dollar bills in front of everyone. Why? Cause they were just that rich and didn't care at the time.

Studio 54 was crazy. Watch any documentary or video or archival footage of it, place was wild. It perfectly captured that popular cultural apex of the late 70s. (It only ran its original run from April 1977 to 1980, when the two owners got busted for skimming money and served some time. Then it reopened into the early eighties but it was not what it truly had been in ‘77 ‘78 ‘79 when it was the hottest place to be in the world. So many wild stories, I think there needs to be a better movie made about it all and not fail where the bad ‘54’ movie from 1998. Because the grand narrative of it all is totally insane and could only ever have happened when it did for as long as it did. It was a pop-cultural touchstone for the ages and it perfectly captured its moment in history while it was THE thing. Disco would “suck” by 1980 and punk and new wave and heavy metal, and of course pop and ultimately hip hop (which was born from the disco records being sampled and scratched by master DJs and creating beats for MCs to rap over), so the whole disco thing was really a bright burning comet that was big while it lasted and then burnt out quickly. And then nostalgia pop culture folk would look back decades and years later with the wisdom of hindsight and experience.

If I had been in my 20's in the 1970's, I would have been dead by 1980.

[@SebDangerfield-yu7cm]

I was 20 in '78. Still here (had a few close calls, though - back in the day - LOL).

[@JOHNSTIER23]

I almost died a couple of times.It was a party the whole decade lucky to have found a better way of life

Full Moon Saloon, Key West. Big entryway up middle, seating both sides. Cleaners would arrive, herd patrons to one side, clean vacant side, then chase patrons back towards newly cleaned side to clean other side. Last call was always two drinks to last through the one hour closure. Hahahahaha.

Anyone remember The Mud Club/The Ritz Night Club? I think the 70's/80's were the best decades in history to be young.

[@kisseba1000]
