It's still sad that after all this time and despite the creation of
documentamovies like "scratch," people still think DJ'ing simply involves
playing one song after another, completely disregarding the personal input
and skill fast mixing, scratching, and cutting involve.
Ah well. From their POV, it's never taken much to be a DJ -- just records
and the ability to tell a beat. Don't tell those "hipsters" (I thought the
point of being a hipster is that you're hip?) that some dj's actually play
with the records :)
