This week marks 40 years since a baseball promotion in Chicago turned into chaos. While some look back on Disco Demolition Night fondly (the team even celebrated the anniversary this season), others see darker motives. We talk with the man who came up with the idea.
And Gov. J.B. Pritzker stands by a decision to cancel a Du Quoin State Fair appearance by the band Confederate Railroad over concerns about the band’s name and use of the Confederate flag in its logo. What it could mean for the fair itself.
That and more on this week’s Statewide.
Revised live broadcast from July 13, 2019 on the Heartland Newsfeed Radio Network, online at heartlandnewsfeed.com, Spreaker and other platforms.
