Deal with it ...

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!
And well deserved.
Hank who, as in Williams Sr., or Williams Jr....or in football...who's Hank in football?
So do I....love rock that is. I feel my age when my sons look upon my music as I did Rudy Valee music of my grandparent day. Damn! I am soo friggin old!
Nothin' wrong with the Outlaws! (Isn't their guitarist, that Hughie guy, with whatever Skynyrd incarnation exists now?)
oh noooooooooo
it's gone beyond the typos!!!
well deserved, it is.
*majorest eyeroll in the universe*
Really? I've been listening to that song for 30 years and I never had a clue what they were singing about. I guess I've been corrupted for three decades and never knew it.
lol!
I don't watch football.
Can you tell? 8P
Heh. One of the "they" might not have been there.......
What is gone beyond the typos?? uhhhh..
and it's cold and
damp
and there's ugly
creatures down
there.
snakes and dragons and rats and such.
Hey. If they play something from the Frank Zappa early years I would be impressed. Zappa was a genuis....but I can imagine the Safeway sound system belting out Suzy Creamcheese. But Zappa also begat Captain Beefheart and Wildman Fisher (shudder at the horror)
Dang. Do I know you?
:-)
from typos....to...music.
oh my!
'One of they' Are you trying to tell me something?!? LOL!
But I like watching hockey.

My kind of woman.
