I guess that was just his opinion. How people feel maybe depends on how long they have been involved in the 'scene' and the changes they've witnessed. I went to the Casino for the first three years, packed it in due to media hype, got back into it in the early nineties and stayed for a further twenty years before making the decision to pack it in five years ago. For me it had lost it's edge, catering for the masses in a 'social' environment, photographing, filming and hitting the dressing up box hard. I am able to accept that this provides enjoyment for many, and as I appeared to be part of a growing minority I decided it was time to leave. Maybe your DJ friend felt the same way?
