What's the deal with DJ's names?  DJ Lewis, DJ Liason, DJ Don, DJ Shurik, DJ Freaky, DJ Funky, DJ Spooky, DJ Kooky, DJ Buttmonkey, DJ Crackhead Bob.  What is all that?  Are they afraid people will mistake them for the bouncer?  The bartender?  The janitor?  Are the headphones and turntables not a giveaway?  Talk about insecurity.  They are the only member of the band (and I use that term loosely) who's job is fused to their name.  You never hear, "Hi I'm Drummer Brown,"  or "Nice to meet you, I'm Keyboardist Willis," or even "Hey, I'm Songwriter (not a bassist) Dusty."

Actually, they might have something there.  Maybe we should all start incorporating our jobs/hobbies into our first names.
