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!
Intriguing, huh? LOL!
Well, I get looked at funny for holding doors open for ladies.
Apparently, that is verboten these days.
Yes, I'll be optimistic and cheerful, and then accidentally stomp something into oblivion by being a clumsy heavy booted oaf..
And then there's the "I just ran over a rabbit" feeling to go with it.
Nope, not kidding.
And if you bow slightly at the waist, you get looked at like your head rolled away and melted.
Also, at times, I will use archaic terms and wording.
Most usually not, though.
*stuned look*
...oh...
I sometimes forget that there are some people who get confused while listening to me.
*sigh*
I usually just grin goofily and watch as people fumble around in confusion.
Even worse when I have a song in my head playing along with their fumbling around.
"Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy" will never be the same...
Not always perfect.
*chuckle*
I was listening to Nina Gordon "Tonight and teh Rest fo My Life" while reading an article about a guy who was suing his girlfriend for injuries sustained during intercourse.
The song lyrics were unfortunate..: 'I feel so light, this is all I wanna feel tonight' -Nina Gordon "Tonight and the Rest of My Life"
I still can't listen to that song without bursting into laughter.
It was the ultimate in unfortunate song timing.
