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!

I'm not allowed to touch the records as I am clumsy like an ox and would be most useless as a guardian of the vinyl.

Trust me on this.

Neat? As in Tidy? Clean?

We keep the records in a tub together, so it's not
hard to keep them clean... the rest of the suitcase
sized, contortionist tortuing contraption I call my
bedroom is another story. I have tubs stacked on
tubs stacked on tubs. So it's not the best... but
I control what I can, which would be the music.

Yes.

Wish I could hibernate.
Probably would help some of what is going on with my knees.
*chuckle*

Yes, and sis isn't likely to trip over her own two feet while merely picking up a record.

I actually like strange, obsolete stuff (that's why I keep
my brother around, hehe). So I don't mind 8-tracks.

I have snacks horded in my room... kind of like a squirrel.
I do have a method to the madness of my room, but with
the lack of space I can't go all squeaky clean, make the
walls shine kind of thing. Most of my clothes reside in
tubs so I have space (didn't all fit in the dresser).

It is joked about in my family that the world will end under my feet, stomped asunder under the clumping boots of doom.
And all accidentally as well.
