I'm posting this in hopes of getting opinions and advice about my growing annoyance of being bombarded with loud hard rock music everywhere I go. It's in grocery stores, department stores, even dentists offices, and it's ALWAYS on TV, in practically every single commercial.
What's worse, I got a job at a major chain department store that caters to mid-America. It's not Penny'S but it is on a par with Penny's/ The sotre plays mostly rock and roll all day long. At night it's nothing but hard rock. The Killers, Lynrd Skynrd, Blondie, Billie Idol, Swiftfoot, ZZ Top, and on and on and on. The music is loud too. (It's loud in most stores.) Not only that, in the store where I work the lyrics of some of the songs are raunchy. Aerosmiths Walk this Way is about oral and group sex. Billy Idol's Rebel Yell is about, well I can't print the words. Even the song, What's Your Name Little Girl, (don't know the artists) is about picking up a woman at a hotel and staying the night with her, plus a band member "having a go" with one of the guests.
This is just my opinion please you rock fans don't take offense. I hate rock music. It's worse than animals growling and screaming. The electric guitar is the most annoying instrument known to man. I am wearing earplugs to work and night and in most stores. Still I can hear it. Help me someone to understand why this music is the most popular form of music in the world. If you like it tell me why so I can try to understand and learn to live with it because there is no escaping it. If you don't like it please give me some sympathy!
I think you either hate him or love him; I've never met someone who's felt neutral. : )
Not. Possible. Do I know you?
Sharky?
Not so much ... here and there some Neil Diamond :)
Does not. She's just running away.........
yep! * runnin' runnin' runnin'*
Neutral, your honor.
More like......*Slithering*
So you're not leaving then, cool.
*sigh* I wish I could say that. :(
Just don't listen to them.
Neutral.
that reminds me of how my grandma drank tea.....we'd say she'd "wave her teabag" through the water.
She barely left it in the cup...and then she'd add milk.
ew!
She'd laugh at our teasing her.
heh...
I remember when my mother was telling me about going to Beatles concerts....
I would give her a look like WHO are the Beatles? She knew I was kidding though :)
You play it with your fists? Cool! That's like piano for anger management!
That one in the picture actually looks like it's on a trailer. Is it?
Ready to hear Esmy's favorites.......
Yes....I remember my grandma being subjected to Neil Young and Black Sabbath (not my fault....my brother did it).
