My Musak Is True

Friends,

Right now it feels like my throat is bruised from this nasty congested head/throat thing I got going on right now. I'm feeling pretty good as a result of the Tylenol Cold I've been popping. However, either it was a fever dream or it is the honest truth, but while in the downtown Hy-Vee yesterday buying said cold medicine, on their radio was a muzak version of Elvis Costello's song Alison. Is that possible? I've heard once that Kiss (guh) has had some muzak made of their stuff, but Elvis Costello? I'm sure what to make of that.



I'm not complaining. I'd much rather hear muzak Elvis Costello than, I don't know, muzak Michael MacDonald, but it's kind of like seeing that Go Phone commercial with Meat Loaf and Tiffany as they shit all over "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" to whore some cell phones. Seriously, Mr. Loaf couldn't have been in need for money that much, right? I figured Tiffany could use the scratch, and not as many people would care if "I Think We're Alone Now" got raped capitalist style.

I just wonder what will happen in 15 years when alt rockers become money strapped fogeys. "Hey Man Nice Shot" used to sell weed killing spray. 311's opus "All Mixed Up" changed to "All Stuffed Up" to sell Kleenexes?
