jukebox etiquette

Ok I have to make this quick because I have to be in class in twenty minutes. I just want to take a minute to touch on jukebox etiquette because some people are such morons that they have no idea how to use one correctly. First of all, never, ever, ever ever EVER play Freebird in a bar. Never. I don't care if you think you can justify it, you can't, don't even try, you'll just look like a moron. Secondly, now we have these nifty internet connected jukeboxes in which you can surf over thousands of songs and then choose if you would like to skip over all the other music people have played to hear yours next. That is the worst invention in the world! I mean really, patience is a virtue. Since we were little our parents stressed patience. But NO, American society needs to be instantly gratified. Always. Even when it comes to music in a bar. It drives me nuts, I have actually seen jukebox wars go on in which people wasted over twenty dollars just to play their crappy music over someone else's crappy music who also pumped a rediculous amount of money into the machine. Its amateur and childish. Also...its ok if a good song comes on and you want a little volume, but EVERY OTHER SONG?!?!?!?! Calm your damn horses, I'm putting the volume on one setting and don't you DARE yell at me to "turn it up". So to sum up, be smart about your music picks, be polite and courteous to those around you and most of all to your bartender.
