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!
Heck, I still have stuiff on cassette that I don't have on CD.
(??)
Sounds funny because most stuff is on cd's these days.
;-)
Well.. so I've been hanging around a time warp...
;-)
... I have stuff on chrome tapes that I don't have on CD's. We
also have stuff on vinyl that can't be found on tape or CD now.
We are a special family. ;-)
The tickling due to the cold is gone.
I wonder what other vile bug the little monster children will pass along to me.
Yes, you are the keeper of the vinyl.
Do you clean the stuff one in a while and all that?
Hello.
Yes, many tapes... many chrome tapes. We have stuff that
may very well snap soon, so I'm careful about playing them.
Hey, at least we don't have any 8-tracks to talk about. ;-)
The missus works with children.
She brings the nice little coughs and sniffles back to me.
I get sick.
And then I am miserable.
My only solace: music.
Actually we just unpacked & re-packed some of
the records recently, they haven't been cleaned in a
while. The ones I'm keeping in my room have though.
There were some 8-tracks in grandma's house, but we
didn't take them. We didn't have anything to play them on.
We did have an 8-track sitting around as sorta a reminder of the horror of music past... but it disappeared in one move.
