My Favourite DJ?

The moment the DJ with a turntable replaced the electric guitar player as the dominant musician of popular music, is about the moment Bromby checked out of the music scene.

I feel pretty old when I hear people a decade younger than me talk about their favourite DJ. My honest reaction is "You mean there are other DJs besides Jazzy Jeff?!?!?!"

No matter who your favourite DJ is I guarantee that Angus Young & David Gilmour would dominate them in a bare-knuckle bar brawl.

I also heard some dudes talking about how Trent Resnor from Nine Inch Nails is ten times the musician that Paul McCartney is. I noticeably winced while resisting the urge to 'correct' them.
