I know what you mean, kid. And that's exactly what Studio 54 was like. And there was a club that kinda bridged the gap between those generations. It was called the Funhouse, down on West 26th in Chelsea. I saw Madonna there in like '81 when she was just a young slut. No bullshit. She was banging that DJ Jellybean back then (along with twenty other guys and girls lol). But she dropped all of those people the minute "Like a Virgin" hit big. Fucking twat. I always hated her for that (but I respect her talent).

But getting back to the club itself, in some ways the Funhouse was even crazier than Studio 54 because the crowd wasn't as moneyed. And poor people are a whole lot more fun than people who are well off (and I've been both, so I know ).
