Quick view on music...

I like music. I like almost every type of music. However, I hate to say it, but I suffer from the sing along effect.

What is the sing along effect. I will be riding along in my car or at work listening to some song I like. It doesn't matter what song or which artist and I really like that song (and occasionally sing along with it myself) when either a passenger or co-worker starts to sing along with it. Now if they sing good all very well but if they could play in the gag reel from American Idol well then on comes the sing along effect. I suddenly find I don't like the song anymore (and the more times I hear it sang off key the worse this becomes), I turn the radio down, or off. I do not do this to be mean. I do it because I love music and I really like that song. I do it because I think telling people to "shut up" is rude.

Have I had people tell me to "shut up" because of my singing? No, not yet. Do people turn their radios down when I sing along? Not yet, but they might after reading this. I try to think about what I am putting my co-workers and my passengers through with my singing. I generally like most of these people so I tend let the professionals do the singing and save belting out that tune to the times when I'm alone in the car... or karaoke.

Have Fun and Be Great
