Cool "Disco" Dan Washington D.C. Legend, Interview

Going through my YouTube saved videos, found this one. I remember seeing Cool Disco Dan from the metro back when I moved to the area in the 90s. It's fading, I don't know if any of it remains now.

Cool "Disco" Dan Washington D.C. Legend, Interview
Cool "Disco" Dan Washington D.C. Legend, Interview that I donated to the While You Were Sleeping bedtime Stories video. I shot this interview in 1996 or 1997 down on F Street where Dan sat and sold Go Go tapes. If you don't know what go go is, he describes it in the video as "urban tribal music". Dan himself is a D.C. urban legend. Everyone here knows of him, the washington post wrote articles on him and the djs on the radio used to make "your mom has been around the blcok so many times" jokes that used cool "disco" dan as their punchline. I shot this in super 8 film whichmakes it even cooler.
