Worst request ever, that's just plain wrong. On so many levels. I still remember playing some 60s funk at a club when a guy in his fifties came up and asked "Can you play some music from the 60s?"
You can't win with these people.
however last week i played my local bar spot and i played breakouts "planet rock" and afterwards a girl in her 40s and a guy in his 30s walk over and both want me to write them what the tune was, hell yeah, that was great. Then another woman in 30s came over and asked me to play caveman (of Brit hiphop fame)...i was puzzled...
but this comment at a hiphopshow? hell, biggie is old school now and t la rock does not really exist anymore...i wonder if rock dj's have the same problem...what did the girl do when krs got on stage? did she touch him on the shoulder neatly and kindly asked: "Excuse me, can you please do some rap?"

whats bugged is that noone ever says anything to me about what i play so i have no idea if folks dig. some folks dance others sit and chill.
i find out a couple days later from other folks that people were lovin it...
am i an unapproachable dude?
i personally think i have some boyish charm and dont forever rock an ice grill... shoot i didnt even get paid for the gig so i went home a mess.
i should bring a comment box to any spots i play at. that might make me feel a bit better when its all said and done. that or a "tip the dj" sign
Peace
