Ha, I know, huh, me neither.  Sorry to anyone who may have misunderstood what I 
first wrote.

I remember when I've been to Erasure shows (and Pet Shop Boys' too), there's 
usually been a good dj spinning that would have everyone groovin' and primed for 
the main event. 

BTW, Who's that guy who scratches and mixes with videos? Some asian guy named 
London, i think? He'd be great.

But for all those who doubt going to go 'see' a dj,  no I've never jsut stood 
there and WATCHED the dj (which is what my original may have sounded like); it's 
not at all what you're supposed to do (It's not what I meant in the original), 
more likely you drink yourself into a near-stupor w/friends and aisle-mates.

... ... ... ... ... ... 

[looking at the current state of things..]

  ..is it always a man with a gun...?

That depends on whether the Dj is a Dj, or someone who just 'spins'. Sadly the 
latter is more common place nowadays. Often, I didn't necessarily go to 'watch' 
the DJ, it was the sound that was more important.

Regardless if one's a fan of the music or not, the fact remains that a d.j. on a 
stage is not much to *watch*. It kinda begins and ends there, as far as I'm 
concerned,.
