I worked at a small radio station and played the instrumental version of Je T’aime,…Moi Non Plus and a listener complained that she was offended because she knew the words.
A few years ago I was in and elevator and heard music done by one of my favourite composers. I thought it was very well arranged for elevator muzak. Through a search I found out that he had done that, arranged one whole album of his music into muzak. I did not know to be cheered on his resourcefulness in capturing that income stream or disappointed in his selling out.
“Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed and in such desperate enterprises? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. It is not important that he should mature as soon as an apple tree or an oak. Shall he turn his spring into summer? If the condition of things which we were made for is not yet, what were any reality which we can substitute? We will not be shipwrecked on a vain reality. Shall we with pains erect a heaven of blue glass over ourselves, though when it is done we shall be sure to gaze still at the true ethereal heaven far above, as if the former were not?”

I don’t think Treggie is comfortable seeing her grandma dance like no one is watching.

Dancing in the aisles to the music was how I “got even” with my junior-high-aged kids for the tantrums they threw in stores as toddlers. :-)
