Someone once described America as simply "The freedom to choose." Well, when it comes to Muzak, we have NO freedom. We old timers were raised in an era where the music we heard was real music, not just loud pounding twanging and screeching on key.
To me, it's almost as bad as having an unwanted visitor invade my space.

Some years ago there was a drive -in quick food place in Canada where gangs of young people hung out getting on the nerves of customers. After many complaints, the manager started playing classical music on the sound system and they all left. I would seek out such a place!
