Just chillin at work, listening to DT's Back to the Basics CD. I wanted to start a positive thread---one without typical the bashing of any DJ's, venues, parties, people that we so often see on this board. Everyone is entitled to their own opinons, but sometimes we lose focus. We should take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Despite all of our differences, we're all here because we LOVE this music. The music is the drug, it is art in every way shape and form. It is a means of understanding and interepreting life, and allows us for a moment to retreat from all the chaos and have a transcending experience. Just as life is a blessing, so is the music. Sorry for the long post, and NO I'm not a philosophy major or anything like that. I just wanted to share this with you. So, as an ode, if you will, to this music that means so much to us, feel free to write anything--- 1) how you're feeling 2) why you love this music 3) when you caught the house bug or anything else you want to share. There's no right or wrong. Thanks for your time. Respect. Peace & Love. Let's try to keep this thread going! Ron
