Up in it is a blast with the DJ … just give ’em a chance to blow down when you suggest a track 😉 Closing time is always good – gives them a ticket to ride too.

This is disappointing… we’re trying to allow and permit these “avant garde” persons to bring in “fresh” perspective and understanding using colloquial terms to paint a picture or help us connect the dots. Well, this is stupid. Allow me to explain.
First, the guy (ELEW) does not even know what a DJ is. Modern “DJs” are not even DJs and should be recognized by a newer term to better fit the role. But a DJ is quintessentially first and foremost a “Disc Jockey.” Back in the day, DJs were armed with a library of… *DRUM ROLL PLEASE*… DISCS! Yes, their trade and craft was playing a disc on one of the turntables and when it came time to change tracks/performer, the DJ uses the secondary turntable for the transition. A DJ was essentially performing a disc gymnastics of a sort. Today’s DJs: where are the discs?
The turntable devices modern “DJs” use are really just glorified to still display and emphasize the visual aspect with spinning turntables that are non-essential to the craft. With the utility of connecting their phone, laptop, and PC to a turntable system, everything is governed by digital power from presets and playlists. They are still in a sense “changing tracks” through some level of manual labor input, but it no longer involves discs. It no longer involves the arduous task of jockeying one disc on and one disc off.
Today, they should just be called something else: Music Maestro, Playlist Pope, Digital Coordinator…
Secondly, a DJ’s role is on purpose. The decisions are on purpose. The choices and plan are all on purpose. There is no hiccups, there are no surprises, and there are no unforeseen outcomes. This is my second point in that the analogy of saying we are all DJs is incorrect. If we are all DJs, then that means every bad decision you make and that others make for you are intentional and on plan. Just as we will say all good decisions and outcomes are on plan, such as the poor mother with her kid getting out of line from ahead of you due to an impromptu circumstance. You win/gain by position advancement and not having to wait in line as long. Is this the picture we want to paint? That we are all DJs and that these are the ways we rationalize to make sense of our day to day tidings?
We live in a modern world full of right and wrong, fair and unfair, evil and good. We are constantly at wit’s end with each passing moment, hour, morning to evening, period, phase, era, year, and so forth… all the while constantly judging and re-evaluating circumstances as they unfold before us.
We are not DJs. We are passerbys, passengers, victims, lucky on-goers, wrong-doers, and vigilantes. We live our lives under constant threat, supervision, and multitudes of variables we cannot control.
If we are “DJs” in any sense, then it is in the simplest manner of whether you chose to leave your home, or stay in instead.
