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!

It is NOT a classic. It's a cartoon movie....a recent one, at that.
who's tito?
Fabio was a singer, oui?
Tito? Fabio?? NEMO!!!
Trust me.
that's not very nice to say about her ***ness. : )
That was from Nemo...too. LOL!
the cartoon movie is based on classic literature?
hiding under rock now
"And spare us from Emajors"
And the way my mind works, I end up hearing "Lost in Hollywood"
I empathize, to a point, Houds of the Baskervilles:
Having once pulled security for a Tech Convention in DC ages ago. I was subjected to hours and hours of Scott Joplin's "The Entertainer" from "The Sting". The roar of the applause from the conventioneers and others was deafening as it finally shut off.
Given that as a bottom base-line. Speakered Rock & Roll is entirely bearable. Even moreso than Muzak, Elevator or Dentist's Office Music.
Jack.
pppfffffttt!!!
sharky.....apparently, "Finding Nemo" was written by a man born in 1958. His writings could hardly be considered classic literature. Now, 'splain to me how it's a classic?
lol....I guess I was thinking of Fabian. : )
Dentist's Office Music Jack?!? LOL!
A classic for sure.
