I love music, but there’s a time and place for it. Of course, please sing
if you wish on the sidewalk. In the Czech
Republic, people at any
moment can simply stand and sing opera. How gorgeous! Moving and splendidly
evocative of an epic period shining with stunning compositions that please the
ear. And these spontaneous outbursts of vocal beauty are shared with us at
normal hours during the day – not after 11 pm. Please play your instrument
spontaneously if you want if the music is not heavy metal, but don’t inflict
your radio music on me as your car whizzes by or comes to a halt at a red
light. It is utterly intrusive. Worse still, my ears are treated to enormous
radio pounding at all hours of the night, including and at wee hours of the
morning. So I can’t sleep, and hundreds more on my block can’t sleep. This is
noise pollution at its worst,. It’s enough to turn us off pop stars, because
their fans are wrecking my right to have peace. What is it about people who
think they must share their music with the entire street? I say, police should be
monitoring this after 11 pm. Or do we need to educate more and create a course
on correct decorum and civil behaviour regarding music. Whether the car window is
up or down, the radio play comes blasting out. It’s bad enough we have cell
phone conversations in public. Now it’s music in the car. What’s next?! Are you
thinking what I’m thinking?
Happens all the time, no matter what time of day or where you are many think that it's OK to impose their ways on others. As if the other doesn't exist - no concern for neighbour.
