So do we really need Christmas music at every freaking store, restaurant, cafe, movie theater, art museum, funeral parlor, party, casino and synagogue from the beginning of November through the new year?And do we really need several radio stations in any given locale dedicated solely to Christmas music?
No.
Nope, we sure don't.
But that doesn't stop every manager everywhere from thinking it's a good idea to dig out the "Jackson Five Christmas" each and every year? And it doesn't matter that the Jackson Five sing the exact same songs as Stevie Wonder, and Bette Midler, and Merle Haggard.? We need all of them?
It's not that I don't like Christmas.
"Oh, Scott, what a Scrooge bastard you are. Scott hates Christmas. Scott told five year-olds that there is no Santa. Scott is using Christmas trees as biological weapons. Rar, rar, rar."
Listen, I like the White Album by the Beatles, but if every year I had to listen to every famous musician from every era sing "Rocky Raccoon," I'd be pissed.
Enough already.
There is one exception:
"Rocking Around the Christmas Tree," by Brenda Lee.
