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'm tempted to just grab two kne braces and say "The heck with it."
Absolutely blown away by Cash's "Hurt" video. It was nothing short of amazing.
No, but I am questioning your taste in music. JK. To each his own.
But that's not you, to give up, is it?
Pick up a Ramones CD, that'll get your mind right.
Gaba Gaba Hey!
EXCEPT!!! 2 songs by Queen.
Check out Queen's first 3 albums, talk about range.
Well, I want answers, not neverending tests.
I'd prefer results, my knees no longer hurting, to endless tests.
I'd prefer not having my arms poked and prodded..
*chuckle*
And since knee braces have worked, the trouble is finding one that fits, I'm tempted to go that route as it works and is an active response to the issue at hand.
*chuckle*
I am keeping you posted.
Heard a song earlier today that was kinda creepy.
Lyrics said "Here I am stanidng outside your window" and teh music video has crows flying at the building..
Creepy..
I understand. Endless tests, which may seem to solve nothing, seems like an exercise in futility; nothing wrong with taking other measures to help alleviate pain or help with mobility.
But if the doctors believe at some point at test may eventually supply an answer, and, thereby, bring a better result down the road......
No sympathy for you.
Most rock music in stores is pap. Real rock is timeless.
Just the way I hate anything done by Journey.
And almost everything by the Beatles.
I'm hoping that the recent battery of poking and prodding tells me something.
But it has been so far an exercise in not getting answers.
*sigh*
So far the answer has been, "We haven't sen a reason for your knees to hurt."
Your face is a mess...
Yeppers. The best.
I have been collecting his music for many years. It's timeless.
Diagnosis: Chronic Lyricosis
I hate when that happens.
Life would be ecstacy
you and me and Leslie
Groovin'.....
Tie me to a chair, force me to listen to Johnny Mathis and I'll be coughing up my bank account numbers in no time . . .
I got in to an elevator the other day and the MUZAK playing in the background was an orchestral instrumental cover of Metallica's "Enter Sandman". I decided at that moment the Beginning of the End was upon us.
Is there something I don't know here?
*Checking body for life symptoms*
darks has had to experience the unpleasantness of being a human pincushion for tests.....which must seem endless and, so far, futile. : (
