Sort-of in response to dukerevolution's post about Jack FM...

Actually, it was interesting. On my recent shift at the greenhouse we had Jack FM on which I'd never really listened to for more than a song at a time. There was much bitching and laughing when "bad"/unexpected songs came on. I was pretty okay with all of it, even when they played the occasional song I can't stand. If I'm going to listen to the radio, it beats asinine DJs with nothing actually relevant to say. And it's hard to find a DJ with something relevant to say.

Then the radio was switched to Spanish music, and the bitching began. In the place I was working, it was about half-and-half Spanish-speakers to white English speakers, and after the first hour of complaining from the white people I wanted to throttle all of them. "Why do we have to listen to Spanish music? We're in America! Speak English!" And bitching about ESL programs at schools...

They have a right to their opinion, I'm not disputing that. But it's a policy at this employer to try and be fair to all their employees.

And once you've stated the opinion you are entitled to, kindly shut the fuck up about it, so the rest of us don't have to listen to you bitching the whole time. I'd much rather listen to music that I only vaguely get the gist of than listen to you constantly rant and rave about something you cannot possibly understand, being a white person raised speaking English in America. What the fuck do you know about moving to another country, learning another language, and having to function without the comfort of your own music styles in many locations?

Grr...wanted to kill them. So much. And they were actually pretty okay until the radio station changed...
