It is interesting to note that Ted Nugent (heavy rock guitarist) tried to
buy out Muzak many years ago, for the purpose of shutting it down.
His reason for doing so was [sic] "It's an evil influence on our culture,
causing people to lapse into fits of lethargy!"

Personally, I thought it was a good statement.
Needless to say, his offer was refused.
