The spirit was the thing was that: 1. explosions are fun, 2. this rock jock hated disco, 3. his fans and other people will pay money to go to a baseball game and see this at a time when not many people were going. It was more of a publicity stunt, than anything politically charged.

Something in the spirit of book burning today is more like banning books in public places, like schools or libraries, under penalty of prison.
