Why do we like this?

Oldish, I know, but this track alone almost coerced me into purchasing a subscription to TIDAL. Christsake, "The Story of O.J." has just turned the corner on my iTunes for the fourth time in a row.

Maybe I'll just listen to this track for the rest of my life. That might mean my DJ sets will suffer. That's just the way it is now. Venues will have to accept it, or not book me.

Fast forward: My first gig went pretty awfully. As you might not find it hard to imagine, my performance was booed to the point of deserving an ushering off stage. My spirit is not broken -- I will be back.
