Do you think that there is too much music today ?

To be honest, I never really look at the date/time of the postings. I just reply when I see a thread I might be able to contribute towards. Anyway, back to the music bit. There's a gym down the road from me and they play the most hideous stuff on the planet. I suppose it serves a purpose, but it's bloody awful listening to it when you are walking past.

At my gym they used to invariably have the sound system tuned in to the worst commercial radio station in town. Not only was most of the music horrible, the announcers all seemed to love a particular type of puerile humour, making some sort of off-colour "joke" at every opportunity. A couple of times I complained to the receptionist and said this is a public facility, do you think people in the gym really want to hear someone talking about so-and-so celebrity wetting their pants? Typically they would change the station then and there - but that only solved the problem temporarily, as on my next visit it would invariably be back on the same station and I got tired of complaining. I did complain in writing to the local city council, who run the facility, and they did acknowledge the problem.

Hence, I feel I achieved a victory of sorts when they switched over to one of those purpose-generated in-house music channels. The music is just as bad, but at least I don't have to hear those godawful announcers.
