I Hate Easy Listening...

We are forced to listen to it day-in, day-out here at work. We used to be able to listen to our own private little radios at out desks, but since they moved our office to another, "remodeled" location where the heat never works but the carpet has no duct tape holding it together, B101 it's been.

And I just heard Madonna's "Like A Prayer."

Remember when that song came out? All the furor over Madonna making out with a black Jesus and such... I was working at the pizza place at the Zern's farmer's market, 13 years old, and I used to jam to that while washing the damn pie pans... At church and in youth group we learned of how Madonna was evil, and her music was sacrilegious, et cetera, et cetera.

And now it plays on B101, preceded by Josh Grobin's "You Lift Me Up" and Paula Abdul's "Do You Really Want A Love to Be Forever"...

The irony of it all...

I hear ya Jason!!!! It's in the 60's here....and will be in the 70's by Saturday....don't know if it's an early Spring....but I'm loving it!!!! BTW....I'm surprise you were able to leave a message....on my end there are probs with blogger today....it took me almost a half hour to leave this message....and that was after multiple tries! And as far as your story....it is weird hearing once controversial or non-mainstream songs playing like muzak....the other day I heard, "I Wanna be Sedated" by the Ramones playing at the grocery store followed by a song by Sade!
