[Publib] RE: Shhhh! This is a library!

[Backwage at aol.com]

One place I used to work had Muzak piped in.  It was an electronics  factory. 
 Every day, right at breaks, they'd play an upbeat version of  "You're the 
cream in my coffee."  No kidding.  
 
When I was in the navy they used to pipe in the AFRTS station and rotate  
country, rock and other types of music.  I had a speaker about eighteen  inches 
above my rack (bunk).  I pulled out the wires; they got put  back.  This went 
on for four years.  
 
The only thing they had that I could stand was a very good Big Band station  
that come on from time to time.  
 
And yes, I am in favor of the Silence Rule; not just in the library  but 
nearly everywhere else.  May the Almighty return us to the day when you  could go 
into a tavern and not hear music you didn't ask for nor watch  television you 
didn't want, either.  
 
Go see Muzak on wikipedia.  The company has lost money eleven straight  
years.
