I worked for 29 years on an assembly line at GM (I just had a job change
last December). Where I worked, you either played what some formatter
had mistaken for classic rock (mostly), the local R&B station (WJLB) or
one of those putrid 'oldies' stations unless you wanted to experience
alienation at work in ways other than the already present Marxist sense
of it.
"Safety" rules (anal supervisors looking for brownie points) said 'no
headphones', so it was a case of being trapped with the worst music on
the radio when I was in high school, over and over...like another level
of Dante's Inferno.
In my new job I can plug my Grado SR60s into my tower, slap in a cdr and
go to town. People passing by my cubicle still give me weird looks, but
they can't drown me out with Bob Seeger.
