    Bothered

    I’m not sure if this should go here or somewhere else. It isn’t really about a SC, but more of an inconsiderate music lover. I have never seen anything like this happen before.

    Yesterday, I was stopped at a red light along with several other cars. With me were my Mom, Aunt, and eleven-year-old female cousin, R.
    A man in a pimped out cherry red car- I'm talking huge, painted flames along the side and Coca-Cola decals- was BLASTING his rap music. So loud it was shaking the van we were in. He was in the lane to the left of me and was the car behind the one directly beside me. The driver in front of him was a woman who looked a lot like Catherine Tate http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0851113/ . So much so that R remarked and joked about the resemblance. R is a huge fan of Catherine Tate.

    Not long after R made the comment, the woman turned in her seat and yelled, "Turn that music down!" The man turned his music completely off and had the decency to look a bit ashamed. Several people in the surrounding cars applauded, someone even shouted ‘thank you’.
    R remarked- "Well, apparently she was BOV-VER-ED." (Bothered, see- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEO1E...e=channel_page )

    And here is where I'd get sucky, too.

    By turning up the bass (which I tend to keep at its lowest setting anyhow) and blast out Beethoven.

    Yeah, I suck.

    Yeah, you see that right. Pink. Harness.

      I find O Fortuna far better for that

          Anything symphonic will work well. Sorry, folks, but four or five instruments amped just can't hold up against one hundred instruments amped.

            ooooo I love O Fortuna! I got to sing the whole thing (Carmina Burana) in college one semester...

            Or... if you want to drown them out AND confuse them...Mandy Patinkin singing in Yiddish. Yes, I once used "Ten Kopeks -Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious - The Hokey Pokey" (it's all one song) and not even *loud* just at a medium volume to drown out one of mom's neighbors once.

              I find Beethoven much less offensive that that stringing of swear words together some call "music." You are quite welcome to blast his 5th Symphony through my neighborhood anytime.

              Just no Mozart, please.

                Was she trying to decide to turn left or right?

                  I have likes and dislikes in classical music, I just love O Fortuna for the gentle choral build up then *CRASH*. I have good memories, seeing that played by the BBC Philharmonic on a gorgeous summer evening at Pendenis castle with a pint of the local brew

                    A friend of mine tried to blast a guy with NPR, but somehow, All Things Considered just doens't have the proper punch to really blow out a subwoofer.

                        ROFL. well beethoven is good for heavier work. Like shooting up an apartment full of people while looking for hidden cocaine. Mozart's a bit light for that kind of work.
                        (i blame Gary Oldman for that! both for the professional and immortal beloved, lol)

                        and o fortuna... the rest of it (meaning carmina burana) ... if you know what the translation is... basically it's about life stabbing you in the back, the first blush of love, being drunk off your ass, and getting laid. Good music!

                          if you really want to try drowning out a "boom car", as my dad calls them, try the opening song of the Phantom of the Opera...

                          just tinkling, then... BAM! Full orchestra!
