pipe and drum marching band

give us boomers a break!

Ah, time to settle down and watch my favourite show

Λένε πως στη    THIS    χώρα που    is what    ναυάγησες Βασιλεύουν οι    listening to    μάγισσες Βουλιάζουνεs    TV shows    στο βυθό και σε βγάζουνε    is like    Στον αφρό    when    Λένε πως μας    there is    άφηνες στα κύματα    too damned LOUD    Φυλαχτά και μηνύματα Τα    BACKGROUND music    βρήκανε τα πουλιά και    being played    χαθήκανε Ξαφνικά Η    over the dialogue.    πόλη σαν καράβι Τα φώτα της ανάβει    STOP IT. NOW!    Γιορτή

Is it just me, or is the annoying, persistent background music to dramas, cop shows, sports, entertainment—the whole friggin’ gamut of offerings—just TOO DAMNED LOUD? So loud, that you can’t make out what the actors, presenters are saying?

It’s inconsiderate, and not just to us boomers or seniors. There must be millions of people suffering from various hearing disabilities or challenges. I think we should make these shows’ producers read entire novels written like my first paragraph—while a 100-member pipes and drums band plays on their back patio. That’ll spin their sporrans, the bastards.
