In 1977, a New Jersey junior high school teacher who spends her weekends at Studio 54 discovers two musicians who become among the most influential artists of the 1980s. Decades later, having burned bridges with them both, she tells her story in hopes of securing her rightful place in rock ’n’ roll history. Written as an email to former Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner, frequent Tendency contributor Lisa Borders’s Last Night at the Disco has been praised as “hilarious” by Publishers Weekly, adding, “Readers will be hooked by this tragicomic romp.” Today, we’re thrilled to share an excerpt from the book.

The thing about their dream is it’s not vague. It’s well defined. They spent their twenties saying, “Let’s be the biggest band in the world.” They weren’t saying, “Maybe I could be a writer? Some kind of comedy writer? What if I live on a boat with just my guitar and I could write? No, that’s weird. But the rent would be cheap, I bet. I could work less and write more, maybe?”
So the verses and the chorus are all G major, then you do that little move to B minor, then the thing where you go to G, A, D, and it just keeps circling. Like, how many times have either Jeff or I played that absentmindedly on a guitar, back in our twenties, while talking late at night? We weren’t focused! Lazy? Lazy!
It’s the first time the U.S. has sanctioned an organization specifically for using lawful, peaceful tools of advocacy.

Astonishingly, the Tufton Street junktanks that shaped Liz Truss’s agenda are still operating at the heart of government. By George Monbiot, published in the Guardian 11th September 2025 Forgive me if I’ve got this wrong, but I seem to recall the country voting the Tories out last year.

I’ve lived my whole life in the Cheshunt and Waltham Cross area, where I’m proud to serve on Broxbourne Borough Council. I will defend my town endlessly against those who talk it down, but that’s not to say we don’t have our problems. During the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests, a counter-demonstration just up the […]

I was outside a museum, in the suburbs of a large capital city. The museum had closed; there were very few shops or cafes nearby, and there was a park on the edge of the museum site. I had a sensation which, as someone with Crohn’s disease, I’m very familiar with — that is, the sudden […]

A month before Charlie Kirk’s killing, billionaire pro-Israel moneyman Bill Ackman arranged an intervention in the Hamptons during which sources say he and others “hammered” Kirk for the conservative leader’s growing criticism of Israeli influence in Washington. Kirk came away fretting about Israeli “blackmail,” sources say, as he began attending Catholic mass.
