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!
Yes, it does I guess.
But, the lyrics coincided with what I was reading, so the timing was quite bad.
I forget what song I put on next, but it was just as bad.
I ended up having to shut off the music as the songs were just.. unfortunate.
Has to be your brain waves Darks......
I dunno, I just blunder into that sort of thing.
I dunno why I keep getting asked how I do it, I dunno how.
It just.. happens.
Like my typos.
I just told you how it happens Darks! LOL!
Well, yes.
But it still doesn't make sense to me.
;-)
Asking for it to make sense it's just too much Darks.......;)
Drats.
*chuckle*
Heading off to bed.
Gotta be up in the morning.
Right it is America, I do plan to keep my earplugs in. You can't fight city hall...got it. I probably will go work someplace else, but I committed to this job for a certain amount of time and I am going to stick with that commitment no matter how difficult they make it for me.
I had the most wonderful time yesterday I listened to classical music ALL day. It was very purifiying. Ahhhhh! Beautiful music....what a concept.
