Don't you hate it when...
You're in public and a song that you know is going to make you tear up comes on the radio/ipod/computer?

In my case, library, working on a paper, and "And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda." Dammit.

5. See, now I've gone from annoying those around me one way
to the complete opposite. I'm going to get kicked out.

6. I'm not surprised that you were surprised.
I am, after all, a woman of diverse musical interests.

10. My friend played that, I think, on her radio show a few weeks ago.
Or something very much like it.

I really am going to work again now, I promise.

12. WPGU 107.1, Champaign-Urbana, IL. College station.
She does a show called "Hear Me Roar," and occasionally pulls the oddest things she can think of.

13. I know! And sympathize... They play music wherever you go, these days,
Grocery stores, malls, offices, elevators... I once broke down in the supermarket, in the cat food aisle, because I heard a song that evoked memories of my beautiful cat...;(

14. I'm sorry.
I'd imagine that that was tough, to say the least of it.

19. Thanks very much, but I know what you mean.
I'm always being transported back somewhere, just by the music that they play in supermarkets...:eyes:

And that was my perfect cat, who I lost all too soon, inoperable brain tumor, but we fought the good fight for her, alternative medicine, etc. Her name was Rhiannon...:loveya:

Not that I'd know anything about that...

17. I just looked up that song on YouTube.
:cry:
That's a good song. I wish more politicians could bring themselves to listen to it.

18. Can't say any song affects me that way.
Anyway, how can you write with all that distracting sound?
