I heard a story about a year ago about a similar situation involving Derrick May. Apparently some loopy kid reached up to May's tables to touch the record. I guess May didn't like this, he jumped out of the DJ booth, right over the tables, and decked the guy. Now, that's class. Anyone else hear about this?
