Muzak

I was at grocery store picking up a few things tonight. In the background music was playing. For as far back as I remember there has been music playing. I expect symphonic, big band, Benny Goodman, Sinatra, or other stuff. But tonight a Beatle's song was playing. Now this struck me as different. The Beatles are now part of the day-to-day landscape of our lives. They, the Lovin' Spoonful, the Herman's Hermits, the Stones, and numerous others are now injected into our lifes in these subtle ways. The rock-and-roll revolution is now common place. And it unites my generation with my children's and separates me from my parent's generation.
