DJ AM was always an inspiring figure to me, a role-model if you will. He was one of those nothing to something guys who relentlessly overcame every obstacle in the way to living his dream and persevered to eventually become the very best of his craft.

I admired his determination to obsessively slog away until he perfected and attained everything he was trying to do. Read the rest of this entry »
