I Know it's Only Rock and Roll but I Hate it.
11/27/2005 | Hound of the Baskervilles

Posted on 11/28/2005 3:51:41 PM PST by Hound of the Baskervilles

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!

"Exactly, it's just noise pollution plain and simple. Anymore, you have to go somewhere to get away from music, not go somewhere to listen to music."

Exactly right back at cha. But there may be a bright side. If everybody would get an I-pod and take it with them shopping and out and about then they would not want store music because it interferes with their personaly chosen private music selections. So I-Pods are good. I-Pods are our friend. Store intercom music...bad...bad music!!

I know I'm late to the party.
Been busy, been being a pincushion, and been everywhere but home.
*sigh*

Actually, darks....I was wondering about that....

I checked your posts last night, sometime after esme thought you wouldn't post last night....your last post was around the 23rd, which, I think, was when you last were being a pincushion.

So...I'm very glad to hear from you; hope you're okay and all is well. Have you heard anything from the docs, yet?

Yes.
The 24th saw us descending upon my brothers place for Thanksgiving.
The 25th 26th and 27th saw me hopping around like an enraged monky trying to get some things done.
Yesterday was an exercise in frustration and pincushiony goodness.

*gaah!*

So I'm back, sorta, and trying to catch up.

And no, no real answer yet as to why my knees hurt.

Though they are fascinated in my iron content.

I missed me too.
And I missed out on a few trolls as well.
:(

Was busy with family stuff as well.
But in there were a few pit stops at the body and fender shop where they checked to see if I need to be reupholstered yet.

Don't be such a stranger and do tell all about your drama.

Inquiring minds and all that....

Drops to the bottom of the test tube like a rock through air.
Wouldn't account for knee pain though.

I hate getting stuck as well.
Usually my blood pressure drops like a rock in reaction to getting stuck.
I was lucky the past two times to not have that happen.

Do they (doctors) know that you are very weird?
Maybe they think weirdness is new to you....

But as for 'weird' they haven't mentioned it.

Hands and feet still have their icy touch, and I still have that graveyard tan going.
