MUZAK question: Have you ever known any young person (arbitrarily

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

defined here as under 30) who VOLUNTARILY listened to MUZAK? I.E. not under compulsion such as being in a shopping mall, elevator, dentist office etc.?

I knew one guy like this. My friend's older brother, when we were punk teenagers and this guy was in his early to mid 20's, in or just out of college, when we had to get a ride somewhere from this guy, he would actually have the AM Muzak station on in his car. I couldn't believe it.

Of course the punch line is that this guy (Muzak listener) is now some kind of Republican party honcho (might even be a state senator) in one of the critical big vote swing states. I think he was at the big shindig this week.
