Does anybody mind if I slip two bits into the jukebox? Man... that sounds... so familiar.

Love the songs on the juke box. Likely I played or heard everyone of them at the local hang-out back in the day except one. Holy Man by Diane Kolby was entirely new to me. I googled and found it. Interesting. Not bad, not great.

I will give you a bag of coins.
The Diner’s jukebox is better than the one at the Waffle House, although it has no Waffle House-themed songs.

One of my first commercial flights in the late 1990s still had the headphones with tubes. Don't remember the quality but I'm sure it wasn't great. I remember when the channel rotation on an airplane included an ATC channel and you could listen in to the pilots.

Listening to James speak on TV series opening songs made me think of the The High Chaparral series. The theme song was terrific. The series was one of the best westerns made, much along the lines of Lonesome Dove.

He ALMOST had me reconsidering Muzak. Almost.
Not really, but it was fun hearing him rationalize it.
