Muzak

Background music is the scourge of our modern world. It's hideous. It's damaging. It's irritating. It degrades our quality of life. Nowadays we carry music around with us and choose when and where we listen to it. Restaurants and pubs, supermarkets and railway stations, shopping centres and buses, hotels and even churches, etc., etc. should take note. We don't want your noise passing through our ears uninvited. GET RID OF MUZAK now and forever. It desensitises us to one of the greatest gifts of all: music. Please, I beg you, get rid of background music. Support the peer Lord Beaumont who has brought exactly the right legislation to the House of Lords. He is a national hero. I want to see him elevated to sainthood in his own lifetime. See http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/5086054.stm.
