[Dynagroove] is DJing a disease?

"2) A DJ who doesn't dance is like a writer who doesn't
read."

hell yeah!!

I know that was Cade I saw doin' backflips on the dancefloor.  Love it!  I
always answer the question, "why did you become a dj" with the answer "because
I love to dance."  And that's the truth!  Any dj that's too cool to dance is
too cool for me...

  I found this great Short Essay on DJing Being A "Disease" check it out..

  DJ:
  1) A disease, though not exclusively a social one.
  Symptoms of this terrible affliction can range
  anywhere from mild to extreme cases of
  head-cocked-to-the-sidus, brought on by misuse of the
  addictive drug headphones and its supplement
  turntables, aided by psychoactive chemicals called
  records, which produce a state of mind referred to by
  its street name as "deck-hog".
  Other deadly effects of the disease are egotism
  (pictured), commercialism, elitism, entouragism,
  selling-outism, stagnatism, and even producerism.
  This disease affects practically everyone in the
   scene at one point in time or another. Early
  warning signs are a willingness to buy a mixer, a pair
  of turntables, and oodles of records, and an extreme
  passion for a musical genre to the point where you
  feel you can do better (see DIY, Trainspotter).
  Fortunately for most, these symptoms usually pass
  without causing any serious problems, and they rarely
  ever return.
  There are always a select few, however, that are
  not so lucky. For them, this disease is often
  terminal, because as of yet there is still no known
  cure for such a horrible affliction.
  2) A DJ who doesn't dance is like a writer who doesn't
  read.3
