Jam ON!

David Ann and I are vacationing in London this week and have been experiencing the joys of a new public transportation system. While in the UK we have been enjoying our gracious hosts, Trish and Jean-Luc, neither of which enjoy using public transportation, in any city! Trish has just been introduced to MMC and inquired the other day - after taking public tranport - as to why didn't I write about people listening to music too loudly and being their own private dancer while on the subway/tube. Admittedly there are often people on the NYC MTA who ride with earphones in and the music up so loud I can often hear it many (many) feet away. The riders of the London Underground are no different - they listen to music loudly through headphones, unaware that many people around them really don't want to share in their music. Turn it down...hearing aids are not going to allow you to put ear buds in your ears later in life.

My first thought, "You introduced someone to the Mickey Mouse Club"?

Yes, public transportation can be quite like the Mickey Mouse Club, minus the teenage pregnancy!
