And i mean addicts. Some people can no More Bear the thought of being without it than an alcoholic can do without his bottle. Let s take a glimpse at ourselves through the findings of a recent . Survey on listening habits which i suggest holds a lot of truth for canadians too. Says the report has so permeated out daily living that there Are some who spend All their waking hours hearing some kind of music starting with radios when they arise a transistor at breakfast the car radio on the Way to work piped in music in the office or factory broken up by More music in a rest Aurant at lunch the car radio again going Home and then More transistor melodies at dinner topped off by singing commercials on their to sets until More than being one of the pleasures of music has become an essential. Other people too if this affected Only those unable to do anything in life without the tonic of music that would be Fine. After All everyone is entitled to his vices. But unlike television itis other people have to share the course of treatment. Of the 22 hours listening the average american does a week at least a third of it in t music of his own Choice the report says. In other words he is forced to listen to canned music in such places As the supermarket and the restaurant. Whether we know it or not i think we Are becoming a Little bored by this saturation. One of the most acute symptoms of canned music addiction can be seen in those who prowl around the streets transistor radio in hand usually producing a distorted Din to All but themselves. But even worse among the transistor fanatics Are the people who go to football matches and despite being accorded As Good a View As anybody can t do without a running commentary of the game from the radio. I be suffered the same persecution in other countries but i can Tell the offenders this. If they were to do this at a test match at lords England s stately Home of Cricket they would be out on their ear. A new Angle As a briton serving an apprenticeship As a Cana Dian i thought i had become familiar with All the things canadians do by car until the other Day it was some thing of a Surprise when i actually met a Guy fishing from the front seat of his car. Now the Angler is free to go about his sport the Day he wants Only beware you strollers. Watch out for that line protruding from the car door. I Al most tripped Over the thing and ended in the Brink.
