This is like very prehistory of DJing, DJing.
Only about 12 people show up, but Jim was electrified to see people dancing to music that he picked for them.
Quote, I felt this amazing power is the wrong word.
Control is the wrong word.
Effect could be nearer.
What I was doing was causing 12 people to do something.
I thought I can make them dance quick.
I can make them dance slow or I can make them stop.
That one person, me, was doing something to all these people.
And that's really the thing that triggered me off and sustained me for the rest of my days.
That's really important.
But it's interesting.
I've had a lot of friends who are DJs.
You talk to most people who are into this, and if you ask what appeals to you, it's like the music.
They love music.
There's something about the art.
Jimmy is always very clear.
He doesn't care about the art.
He is not at all interested in this as a creative endeavor.
He likes being a DJ because you get to make people do stuff.
