That guy was awesome and knocked my socks off. At the time I was on vacation and having a grand old time gettin rocked and partying, so that might have something to do with it. But I think where the buzz comes from is similar to the buzz with live music - people get excited about something they're not capable of doing. Me for example, I can't spin records, or at least haven't really tried hard enough to give myself a fighting chance. As a result, I'm somewhat inspired by seeing someone else do it, since I can't. Great, fun. But I'd have to acquiesce if there were a stand off between original music and that of a DJ's hodgepodge of different sounds. In the end, the original song is the root of it all.

Now I come to think of it, yes, whenever anyone says I'm a DJ, they expect (and get, but not from me) kudos for merely playing the music made by others. I also dislike them for being pretentious.
