While browsing the endless World Wide Web I came upon a "post" about the music at Colts games that we don't play enough "rap" and the playlist has not been updated since Edegrrin James played for us.
The James reference was false as all the Hip Hop that I play on defense includes recent track from Rick Ross, Gucci Mane, Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy and Drake and is picked by the players. None of these cats were on the radar when Edge played for us so that comment is ridiculous at best. The touchdown song is picked by the team and they all have voted to keep it. I do not play "Taking Care of Business" during the game so reading that also made me laugh at another clueless posting.
As much as some people want the music to sound like a Jay Z concert, there are others that want it to sound like the Rolling Stones. I balance the best I can with ALL types of music which has kept me at the gig for the last 10 seasons.
I'm tired of the bullshit bandwagon people get on about rap music at the games, my bar gigs or whatever. The attitude and combativeness is getting old. If somebody comes up and asks me for a rock song that is way left field and I can't play it, they move along and not much is said. Why can't everyone be peaceful? I play as wide of a variety of music as I can for a wide variety of an audience. I am not the best at what I do nor am I the worst. However, still lasting in the biz since 1986 I must be doing something right.
