my all-time fav is "are you the DJ?" - OK, meanwhile I have headphones
on, am surrounded by turntables & rekkids, CDs & players, etc. whilst
using the mixer. once I answered "no" just to make the person go away.
runner up would have to be "I'll have a Bud & two Coronas" (or other
drinks) - been in a few places where the booth was near the bar...
old time favs - "can you play the Smiths" or "can you play Souxsie" when
that was what was actually playing right then...
"play something I can dance to" when the dancefloor is full - "sorry,
can't help ya there dude" - lol!
"if you don't play some good music I'm going to leave", said in a busy
place - "there's the door, over there"
"can you play some Metallica" - I actually had it - don't ask me why -
and they danced too - was funny as hell - lol!

I was playing live with Mark Broom about 10 years ago when a sweaty
face from the crowd appeared over the top of my Juno 106 and shouted
"Go on big man! Make the 303 RUMBLE!!!"!!!!!

DJs get harassed too? I thought that was reserved for us liva PA
guys. I somehow feel better.
I played a gig at a huge dirty club in Berlin on Saturday. I had a
girl come up to me twice and ask me pleadingly if there were going to
be any more DJs. Then a guy came up and told me that I was doing it
wrong - I was supposed to be using turntables.
