RE: [microsound] DJ's: human jukeboxes?

[Patrick Norris <untitledartist@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think it might all be about perceptions and biasses...after all the 
government seems to think electronic music venues are just spots to traffic 
narcotics.  My parents don't take my music seriously. I think one must take 
into account the changing deffinition of dj.  To many of these people the Dj 
was the one who changed the record and announced the celebrity birthdays on 
the local a.m. station. They see a guy who changes the records (the guy who 
was cheaper to book than the band for their wedding), not an artist, and 
when the dj spins tracks that aren't his, it isn't art it's theft.

Is it too much of a stretch to think that some from the same mind-set 
actually work for the riaa and that they do see the dj as a human jukebox.
