the worst thing i ever experienced was that i was playing some groovy Stevie
Wonder jam and half of the dancefloor was standing still..my girlfriend was
dancing her ass off, and some guy next to her asked her: "you seem to like
this don't you? what is it?" she answered "it's stevie wonder" and all of a
sudden they started to dance! jeez.....it seems they cannot appreciate the
music itself anymore these days...it all has to be labeled for them...that
was really saddening...
