Interesting interview in the Onion from Afrika Bambaataa... one of the originators in hip-hop and still rocking (unbeknownst to me). My favorite quote: "All music is dance music. But when people think of dance music, they think of techno or just house. Anything you can dance to is dance music. I don't care if it's classical, funk, salsa, reggae, calypso; it's all dance music."

I also definitely second the posts on the concert... What a blast! So much musical communication and different influences, and such incredible musicians.
