I just meant it as that a DJ is not necessarily a shamen of techno glory... I have been touched and energized many times by certain sets.... This should be something a DJ should aspire to do, but should not necessarily aspire to be in control of the throughput of ideas and music between the artist and the listener.... A DJ is merely a vessel, not a controller... this includes the transferring of information on labels and such... I love listening to Levan's old sets and stuff, truly magical experience... I hear ya my friend.... I don't think it was the drugs... scott
