Hypocraasy at it's finest
The other day I forwarded a link regarding the Area One Concert coming to Shoreline Ampitheater this summer to everyone I know. Musical talent like Moby, Outkast, New Order, Paul OakenfoldI, the Orb, and The Roots getting togther at the request of Moby himself to entertain the masses on a pleasant summer day on the lawn. I get a reply from this guy who I work with, who I used to be really good friends with, but now we're just socially polite, or should I say he's nice when he wants something i.e. and "E" hook up or his commission checks processed faster, (but that's a story for another blog), a guy who goes dancing at least 4 nights a week with out fail, a guy who gets that "Hey I acknowledge you out there in the crowd my friend", that w'sup head jerk from many local DJs as they're spinning their set, here's how the email goes

QR-How cool would this be?
Outside Party-Too fucking corporate.
QR-Where's the love of music my man?
Outside Party-Part of the love is the scene(and I gotta lotta love). You play the best music ever created while in hell, you're still going to get a really bad burn; and things won't sound so good.

Wow, sounds like this guys stands for what he believes in huh? Did I mention that he's a COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE BROKER? He makes a profit from the purchasing and leasing of COMMERCIAL properties, spaces that can only be occupied BUSINESSES, profit hungry machines!? This is the same guy who when given the rare gift of a free parking space for a month in our building's parking garage, tried to SELL IT FOR A PROFIT to a fellow employee!
A good friend of mine had a great response to the "too f***ing corpoarte comment-
"Who cares about the corporate when your heart is pounding, your forehead is sweaty and at some point during a hard set you look up through the flashing rainbow of lights and see a stranger dancing nearby and you both smile and in that moment you just know....its all about the music baby! wooooooooo hooooooo!!!"

And the Beat Goes On..........

p.s. Sushi date with 27 year old DJ/music maker update:Super nice, extremely mellow, no chemistry for me yet, would probably hang with him again
