RETAIL MUSIC DEBATE CONTINUES

Okay, so maybe I am not a total expert, but I did work in a mill (a molding mill, to be precise) for three months, and I heard the sound of a Hyster (R)(TM)(C) backing up a whole lot every day.� Now, I didn't go crazy over it, although I know some people who did.� I just got really used to it, to the point where I didn't really even listen to it anymore.� I knew what the noise was, I knew what it meant, so it didn't need conscious brain power anymore for me.� For anyone who doesn't know what a Hyster backing up sounds like, it sounds like a high pitched beeping, perhaps like the alarm clock from Hell.� So while I can't say anything about slaughterhouses, per se, I can say that beeping wasn't nearly as bad as music.� My brain can't disconnect itself from music very well, and I wouldn't be wearing ear plugs, so I can say that I am sorry for all those who are driven slightly bonkers by the same songs over and over. -- Annette Goeres
