The whole issue of Europeans receiving a much warmer welcome than
comparative US/local DJs in Detroit is by no means unique. The same
happens the other way around in Europe and I would suspect in other
places around the world as well. As they say in Dutch: "What you get
from far away, tastes good". A local DJ playing the exact same set
as
the international DJ will get a much lesser response. Which
perpetuates
the status quo.

Your remarks are probably the most level headed of anybody who has commented
on the 'adam beyer in detroit' conflagration. My scathing criticisms were
born out of the frustration that arises from the 'grass is greener on the
other side' philosophy, an approach erroneously assumed by so many people in
the Detroit area. God forbid they should someday find themselves living in
southern Virginia, which is the case with me. As they say in English "You
don't know what you got till it's gone".
