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!
Nopers.
Besides, the middleschool football team had been held back a year or three, so they were all technically highschoolers in size...
Nice tea, isn't it?
I was never into sports myself.
Unless one talks about fencing, and cycling.
Hacking at your opponents with a sword always appealed more to me.
*shrugs*
Lost the legs due to the knees..
*sigh*
Don't believe her. It's from Duke Vader......
LOL, Duke Vader!
Haven't been able to ride my bike in at least four years.
Knees have hurt too much.
Well, could be worse.
Could be "Into Another" and some of their songs giving you a headache.
(More likely by sticking in your head.)
We'll get you my pretty.......
Very clever comment......
*singing, horribly*
"In the meadow we can build a snowman, we'll pretend that he is Orson Wells. He'll say "There are Martians" We'll say "AAAAAUGH!" and panic as we run around the town. Later on, we'll conspire, to set them all on fire. And we go along, slaying this song, running 'round a mental wonderland.."
Worse? Like elevator music? YIKES!
That one pic, the biking gear pic, is from 1995.
It's from ten years ago.
