The world famous celebrity disc jockey Adam Goldstein (aka DJ AM) has passed away yesterday in his New York apartment. Everyone I follow on twitter is deeply saddened by his passing. DJ AM was really friends with everyone. At first all I could think was “what a shame, he just survived that plane crash too…” but now reading everyone’s thoughts and tributes it makes you understand why it really is such a loss.

I knew who he was of course and enjoyed his sets always but now after doing research, just seeing what other people have to say, and watching past interviews he did on youtube, the man was a truly humble individual. You can really see who he is, and what he was about. The dude was “the” pimp premiere DJ and rocked a hard sneaker collection. The man was even on an episode of Entourage, and threw the first pitch at a Mets game! No other DJ does that lol. I was bitter at him for tricking the crowd at Hard Haunted Mansion last year into thinking he was Thomas Bangalter from Daft Punk but now I can see how that fit into his personality. He was such a fan of music he was probably having more fun then anyone in the crowd.

R.I.P. DJ AM may you rock the golden turntables up in the heavens…
