Patsy, I'm sure music does affect people's moods and behaviour. I imagine that's why they play calming stuff in lifts, for those with a bit of claustraphobia. Sadly, I'm one of those nerds who prefer total silence much of the time, even at home. When I used to go to pubs, I was driven mad by the loud and awful (to me) music, which included the Smurfs, at 100 decibels. I wished there was a 'silent' disc on the jukebox. I'd have put a poundsworth in to enjoy my pint in peace!
