i am definitely an admirer of the technically proficient DJ. but there are also DJs out there that you know are just going to entertain you.. let your hair down and have some fun, mixes be damned. i'm sure ol' norman is one of those DJs. and many of 'those' DJs got to be so by having a hit record or...

And like I mentioned, he only used the 2nd laptop once during the 30-45 minutes I was watching him.
