That music...

Last night I was sitting at the bar with Kip (this is how all of this starts out), and some tourists came in and put money in the jukebox. Well, this isn't your classic jukebox, it is an internet download based jukebox. It was still on the volume from the night before, extremely loud. Nathan2 immediately grabbed the remote to turn it down, because Kip hates it being too loud.
"I just don't understand why they want it so loud that you can't talk!"
"Kids these days can't hear anyway because of those stupid things they always wear in their ears."
"Back in my day, I loved music, I still love music. I love all kinds of music. But this boom, boom, yelling shit... Who can listen to that? (He was referring to Dream On by Aerosmith)"
So, a few more "loud" songs came on and he asked for it to be turned down a bit more because of the "Boom, boom, yelling shit."
Then the next song that came on, was a country song that I am fairly certain came out in the 1950's if not 1960's. Next thing I know, Kip is over there singing at the top of his lungs.

So really, it is like this-
If Kip likes the music, it can be loud. If he doesn't like it, it shouldn't be on at all.
