Quote: "I might have seen that 1995 incident with Jon Williams. Over the years, I've seen several turntable-divers. This may be more of a west coast thing, because we have always favored putting the turntables on the floor with the crowd rather than in a booth or up on a stage. Most people are very good about not getting too close to the gear, but it does provide opportunity for those who are little too twisted . . ."
---> And when the turntables are only a grasp away you tend to get people who think it's funny to touch the record, make it stop, try a backspin themselves. Which usually ends with them getting smacked in the face by the dj (or his buddies) or getting thrown out. Saw that one plenty of times... John
