@USAJuly4th1776 Conservatives are scum and don't deserve to be Americans, hell they don't even deserve to be Earthlings.

@FAILincorperated They acvtually used R.E.M.. lady gaga, basicly any mainstream music, and they will play the same songs on repeat for days at a time. So can you imagine listening to Losing my religion for 48 hours on full blast? Id cry for my mother too.

ok thousands is the correct spelling . just wanted to correct that befor my comment is derided for incorrect spelling. I'm sure i'm just one of many who would like to see music banned in work place

[murphy13295]

9 years in one work place the shop radio was tuned to a "top 100" station a terrible connection too. the radio played static as often as music. by my calculations i had to listen [subjected to} to some songs tousands of times a year.That was torture in my book. then we have Muzak in malls & many other public places. I've worked in places where some workers got into fist fights over who's station was to be played. My opinion is music at work is a distraction at best and torture for some
