What to Make of It?

by Phyllis

It's a little like having your favorite Pandora station play something really stupid all of a sudden, only this happened in reverse.

I am no stranger to Adventure's First Stop. Mostly because there is a store fairly close to my home, I buy a lot of fuel for my cars there. My sons also can go through milk like no person's business, so I have made many a jaunt up to store 211 to get a couple of gallons to tide us over. (And so long as they have the 'buy one liter of Diet Mtn. Dew get one for 50 cents' promotion going on, I will wear out a path to their door.)

While either outside filling up my tank or inside browsing the many jerky selections and deciding not to buy the refillable 100 ounce soda vat, I have heard not a few good ol' songs from some of country music's "best." I can recall Garth Brooks and his Papa Loved Mama ditty and George Strait and his Give it Away (not a RHCP cover, in case you wondered). Rascal Flatts gets some love there as well. I don't know if this is because they are tuned to a country station or what. Who cares, right?

But the other day as I topped off the car, I heard "You Take Me Up" by Thompson Twins.

Should I report this to management?
