So...I have three jobs. One of them is part time at a skating rink. I do a number of things there...one of which is DJing...ish...
...so, for the most part, I try to restrain the requests of those who come to things that are NOT explicit...much to their indignance...
That being said...they often try to argue the merits of 'their' (which basically means anything on the billboard top 100 at any given moment...) music and how it is good. I rebuttal that they don't know the meaning of the word 'good' (as they are using it to represent 'self' preference not morality...), and that no legitimate businesses (other than night clubs, bars, casinos, etc...) would ever play the songs they are requesting...let alone to the their age group...
Their persistence has evolved our relationship into my having to google every song they request, and I can usually only play (with the caveat of no sex, drugs, foul language...) about 12% or so of what they request.
As this happens week after week...I feel like Jackie Chan from the latest Karate Kid when he and Jaden just get out of the antagonist's dojo:
"That's a bad man! Teach you bad things!"

12% sounds about par for the course. I'm a music nerd myself so I know where you're coming from. Google is an ever-present help in time of questions.
For the requests you do play, how do you access them? Does the company have an on-demand streaming service or do you have a very large on-site database?

We had my Daughters 10th birthday party at a skating rink this year. I was busy so I wasn't paying a lot of attention to the music, until one of the kid's told me that the music had had word. I went to the DJ booth and asked the DJ to play kid appropriate stuff. He asked me, like what? So I said, no rap music, maybe music from Frozen, what does the fox say, a couple Taylor Swift songs, some pop country music. He rolled his eyes at me. That ticked me off. So I had to say, I just heard the music you're playing, it's not music it's terrible. This party is for a TEN year old girl we're the only ones here, deal with it.
I wish you had been the dj DJ at her party.
A few years ago, on Easter, my family had a celebration with a DJ. And not even two seconds after we said grace, the DJ blared some explicit music.
On Easter.
After grace.
Needless to say, my family member who was giving the party straightened the DJ out with the swiftness. Then the DJ started playing some oldies and family-friendly music and even started singing along lol

It got to -24 F here... that was fun to do in a camper with no propane and three little ones. But people continue to tell me I have to be grateful that at least I have a roof over my head. I don't know anyone who would call a freezer a roof over their head. Literally everything in the camper is still blocks of ice. I have a ton of ruined food, that I don't have money to buy more of.
I have noticed some people narrow in on one or two styles of music as "really good" and they ignore everything else as junk. If such a person finds himself in the role of DJ it probably won't occur to him to ask the host what kind of music should be played. I mean what other kind is there? My style is the only real music in existence.
People with broader music taste will probably think to ask what kind of music the host wants.

Anyone know who Joy Hakim is? She's been described as the J.K. Rowling of the history world. She wrote "A History of US."
Anyways, I got to email her and she answered me! It was a huge pleasure and she even mentioned my name. We talked for a little about the election and it was awesome. This lady is 85 years old now.
