ONE LAST THING about my visit to the Soprano’s…
During the entire two weeks we were sitting in the glass fishbowl of a conference room, the Soprano’s asked us to keep a radio on so the rest of the office wouldn’t hear us talk about private financial matters (like what office supply came from Victoria’s Secret for $420). I still think it was to drown out the feds’ bugs, but regardless…we were treated to 9 solid days of 102.7 FRESH fm, the home of....honest-to-god....“non-sleepy light music”. “Non-sleepy light music???” Who.the.hell is in charge of your branding….Mr. Rogers? You need to FRANCHISE that shit. I’m changing the blog name…the non-sleepy alternative to work.
Now I don’t know if you have ever listened to an easy listening station for 10.hours.a.day, 9.days.in.a.row, but…sleepy or not…it hurts. Here are some things I noticed in between my naps…
- It is impossible to take the auditor seriously when they are proposing revenue adjustments to the tune of “play that funky music, white boy”
- Okay, Sara Bareilles.…. I can’t take it anymore….. just write the %@$#* love song already, wouldja???
- Do you think Bono would be disappointed to learn he writes “non-sleepy light music”?
- Come to think of it…EVERYTHING sounds easy-listening when it’s sandwiched between Celine Dion and Michael Bolton.
- Those in glass conference rooms should NOT do dances
- I refuse to leave for lunch until after the Sheena Easton marathon is over (it's two songs–you can wait)
- 7 million people bought that Cyndi Lauper album??? What the…oh wait…I was THREE of those (whattya gonna do, it was a fan-club minimum)
- Rod Stewart made a LOT of crap music
- I think I put this EXACT combination of songs on a ninth-grade mix tape
- Wait a second….I seem to know the words to every.single.one of these songs. When did I become non-sleepy and light!?!?!
