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 sympathize *completely*.
So I've a PRx for you, my friend.
A *good* dose of "Rap".
Listen to [c]Rap often & a lot the next 24 hours, as much as you can.
Y'hear?
...& call me in the morning.
Did they find a pulse?
Are you sure you don't want to hold out for something more challenging, more dental?
"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."
HA!!
I met this pretty little brunette, I'll call her "Angie".
We've developed as wonderful (& totally Platonic) relationship over the past 10-15 years as we became better & better acquainted.
One day Angie confided in me that when she was going to UWM, she worked PT at Menard's.
She swore to this very day that dumbass ditty Menard's' plays in their ads -- & y'know the one -- is in her head as that's all that played over & over in the store when she was working.
She admitted with a certain desperation in her voice she cannot get it out of her noggin' no matter what she tries.
Imagine that, BM.
"Save BIG money at Menard's!" over & over & over again ceaselessly haunting your every waking moment, forever.
Yes & then it dawned on me, my sweet friend Angela?
...she's quite insane.
I assume so. He lives. : )
Wrong terminology........
My Rock & Roll fetish is alive and well. Sinatra is my escape. :-)
How so?
Yes, cveepy enough for dungeons.
Or some of the dates I had in the past.
*chuckle*
The doc was amused that my blood pressure fluctuated some 40 points in roughly 30 seconds.
And they were somewhat amused that my pulse hovered around 58 to 67 Bpm.
I don't exactly live.
I am 'horribly animated' to be exact.
;-)
No "Hard Rock" here, ...Blondie are you kidding me.....I never heard of THe Killers" but the rest I have and Lynrd Skynrd, and ZZ Top, I listen to
I'll just have to play Kenny Wayne Shepherd "Blue on Black" then..
;-)
Um, yeah, I'll bet. Maybe you're just too old, emotionally or physically, doesn't matter much.
I don't have the slightest idea what you're talking about....Willis
:-)
Heh heh heh...
It's a country-ish song.
he even amuses doctors, sharky. : )
but I'm not mentioning who 'those folks' are. : )
