Bob Shops (2)

I noticed the supermarket was playing CLASSIC ROCK over the PA system. Classic Rock may be today's BEAUTIFUL MUSIC. Makes sense, as it fits most of the demographic I saw shopping - I'd put the average age at 45... the bullseye 40-50.

Radio station thinking is that one's musical taste is set in their last year of formal education. So some song from, say, 1978, when someone was 18, puts them at... 45 now.

I heard Janis Joplin sing "Busted Flat in Baton Rouge..."

And when I went back to the car I noticed one tire needed air. Coincidence?

I heard the Ozark Mountain Daredevils sing Jackie Blue. I bought water: OZARKA water.

Jackson Browne sang something. I - atypically for me - brought home some BROWNIES.

I am too frightened to delve deeper. I think we are all slaves to mind control. Cue Rod Serling. It may have been sunny, but yesterday was clearly in The Twilight Zone.
