Subway Music - A PSA

Please excuse this public service announcement:

TURN DOWN THE MUSIC ON YOUR HEADPHONES WHEN YOU ARE IN THE SUBWAY.

While it is your choice to listen to very bad music, we don’t need to hear the latest hip-hop mariachi mash-up first thing in the morning. That tin-can-sound of off tempo, non-lyrical rap your cousin “produced” on his computer does not put anyone else in the mood to get their day started. Some like coffee in the morning and others blasting Ramones, but you often don’t see people pouring their cup-o-joe on other subway riders, so it is time to turn down the music, punk.

The people around you thank you for your cooperation and participation in the turn your own crappy music down project.

So say we all. The Boss and I have been blessed (two days in a row!) with one lovely young lady on our bus who is listening to her music from her phone, sans headphones, and, like all good teenagers: likes to listen to the same song over and over again.

Well said. It's one of the few benefits of being in LA - having your own car and being able to listen to whatever you want without anyone else being affected and nobody can trample on your choice either - gotta love it. Of course with the long commutes in LA it's the only way people survive.
