WOW..! OK, SOME OF YOU MIGHT FIND THIS EXTREME, ABSURD & TOTALLY RUDE; OTHERS, SIMPLY JUST FUNNY... HERE'S THE DEAL THOUGH... NEVER MESS WITH THE DJ DURING HIS SET..!
PERSONALLY, I DO NOT CONDONE ANY TYPE OF ERRATIC BEHAVIOUR BUT I MUST ADMIT THAT THERE'S DEFINITELY BEEN TIMES WHEN I'VE COME CLOSE TO BREAKING POINT MYSELF... THINK ABOUT THIS FOR A SECOND: DO YOU - OR WOULD YOU - LIKE IF SOMEONE (RANDOMLY) CAME TO YOUR WORKPLACE OR OFFICE SPACE, HOVERING OVER YOUR HEAD WHILE YOUR DOING YOUR JOB, TELLING YOU HOW TO DO THINGS OR MESSING WITH YOUR DESK, PC KEYBOARD, STATIONERY, ETC..? I HIGHLY DOUBT THAT..!

SOME DUDES & DUDETTES DJ AS A HOBBY BUT FOR SOME OF US, IT'S OUR JOB; WE DO IT FULL-TIME, AS PROFESSIONALS & REGARDLESS OF THE FACT ANYWAY - ASIDE FROM SOME PATHETIC CELEBRITIES & OTHER IDIOTIC INDIVIDUALS PUSHING BUTTONS AT THE MOST - IT ACTUALLY TAKES A LOT MORE TO THE CRAFT THAN IT SEEMS..! SO PLEASE - IN ORDER TO PREVENT THE UNFORTUNATE EVENT OF GETTING INTO AN AWKWARD/EMBARRASSING/UNCOMFORTABLE SITUATION LIKE THIS - NEXT TIME YOU'RE OUT & ABOUT, BEFORE YOU APPROACH A DJ, THINK ABOUT THE FOLLOWING:
[1] DON'T BE ANNOYING & DEMAND THINGS; IF THE DJ HAS KINDLY ACKNOWLEDGED YOUR REQUEST & SAID THEY'LL PLAY IT AS SOON AS THEY CAN, BE PATIENT & WAIT; WE'RE NOT JUKEBOXES & EVEN IN THAT CASE YOU STILL HAVE TO WAIT 99% OF THE TIME; IF YOUR REQUEST CANNOT BE FULFILLED, HAVE A THINK WHY OR EVEN BETTER, IF IT'S BEEN JUSTIFIED AS TO WHY IT CANNOT BE FULFILLED, YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO THINK, RELAX & ENJOY THE REST OF THE NIGHT, IT AIN'T THE END OF THE WORLD :)
[2] ALTHOUGH MOST PEOPLE - INCLUDING SOME VENUE OPERATORS - DON'T SEE IT, DJS HAVE A HUGE RESPONSIBILITY TO DEAL WITH; EVERY TIME & MOST OF ALL, THEY/WE PRETTY MUCH CONTROL OF HOW THE NIGHT WILL PAN OUT... IF A DJ CANNOT ENTERTAIN A CROWD, CLUB-GOERS/PUNTERS LEAVE, BAR MAKES NO MONEY, VENUE MAKES NO MONEY, BAR STAFF DON'T GET PAID FOR A FULL SHIFT, SECURITY DOES NOT GET PAID FOR A FULL SHIFT, DJ DOESN'T GET PAID FOR A FULL SET/SHIFT; BUT IF THE PLACE IS GOING OFF & YOU (AS A CLUB-GOER/PUNTER) ARE PART OF THE MINORITY OF - 1 OR 2 OR 3 OR HALF A DOZEN - PEOPLE IN THE ENTIRE VENUE WHO FOR SOME CRAZY REASON AREN'T HAVING A GOOD TIME & YOU THINK IT'S UPTO YOU TO "IMPROVE" THINGS & MAKE EVERYTHING SUIT YOUR LIKING - WITHOUT OF COURSE DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THE DECOR, BAR-PRICES, DRESS-CODE, CAUSE IT'S ALWAYS THE DJ WHO BECOMES AN EASY TARGET & EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE AN EXPERT ON HOW TO DELEGATE MAKING ADJUSTMENTS - BY BECOMING A PEST, AS DEPICTED IN THE VIDEO, YOU MIGHT BE BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE; ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE NOT THE ONE WHO HAS PERSONALLY BOOKED & ARE PAYING FOR ENTERTAINMENT SERVICES..!
BIG UPS TO Robert Anderson AKA DJ Iceman FOR THE INITIAL VIDEO POST; CHEERS BRO...
1 LUV, PEACE & MUSIC-BEATS d(-_-)b
