is life seriously meant to be this cruel to us hard working dj's?

nobody is stopping you from writing and pitching your own reality tv show to star in.

I question all these highest paid lists. The only businesses that are required to publish earnings (in the US at least but it applies similarly in other countries) are publicly traded companies (i.e. those on FTSE, NASDAQ, DOW JONES etc). Those that don't have to publish numbers, don't.

These numbers are likely thrown together based on number of anecdotes, other equally questionable "news" reports and a lot of voodoo mathematics. Seems that these days, the world is only interested in reading words formed into a top 5/10/25/50/100 list.

As for this chap, let him do his thing. Plenty of people eat Steakums and consider it steak.

wow.. this thread blew up hardcore... all i was doing is pointing out that some assholes get a shot in life and dont do much with it but become even bigger douchebags, while the rest of us work hard at our craft and get nothing but a few free drinks and maybe a phone number

some of y'all are taking this way to serious but it is a reminder to us all to ....

well. a phone number and a few free drinks can/could make you more lucky than a shitload of money. just sayin

who knows, maybe the man did have skills before the show blew up like it did, and his mtv popularity just opened the door a little more for him. its sad to say but, a lot of times what you know will not get you as far as who you know.

i can guarantee that if anyone of us on this site knew a club owner personally, ie best friend, relative, family friend, and you went to them and was like you let me spin for a night. and for that night you brought 100 people all paying for entry and drinks, hell probably be quite happy, rather than bringing the next guy who's dj battle champ in the local city 5yrs straight, but only had a 30 people following at his shows.

who you know and who knows you is key, what you can do is a bonus to that. everybody knows pauly d, from mtv, so where he is people want to follow, if he can keep the crowd happy and spending, a true business man will not give a damn about his pro dj ability. thats just my 2 pennies

^ good point, entertainment is a business and that 's the way it works

And you know, over the course of the last few weeks I saw two or three episodes of the Pauly D project and he's actually more of an OK guy than I thought. If you look past the douchebag clothing you might find a guy that isn't so bad after all.
