Music determines the quality of life

Afte years of complete freedom to choose the music that's playing — type, artist, volume, repeat, what-have-you — I've become convinced of the above.

If everyone had the luxury of listening to whatever they like — not with headphones or earbuds but blasting from speakers right where they work — the entire experience of working and concept of a job would be turned on its head.

To anyone who's wondering why it is that nearly everybody hates their job, the clue phone's ringing: figure out a way to make the above happen and watch absenteeism and grumbling slow to a trickle.

Guaranteed — or your money back.

In case you were wondering, today's track is above and below.

Magnificent music and lyrics, perhaps the anthem of the 20th century.

Someday when I get big — real big — I'll have someone put a "What's playing at bookofjoe" link to the music currently blasting here at my World Headquarters™® so anyone anywhere can experience what's going down in this zoo.

All you'll have to do to make the experience immersive is walk in place at 1.0 mph.

"Work is what you're doing when you'd rather be doing something else" remains the best definition ever.
