The other week I was at a hole in the wall bar a few hours from home,
and they were playing nothing but country music on the jukebox. And it
was a digital jukebox with a huge Led Zeppelin Mothership ad at the
bottom! Song after song, it was country music, which didn't take long
to grate on me.

So, I went up and did my duty. I played "Hot Dog," and when it gave me
the option to play my song next for double the credits (i.e.
sidestepping all the country songs queued up by others, for an
additional fee), I took it. So, I sit back down, Hank Williams or
whatever finishes up, and on comes "Hot Dog." I get all these mean
stares from people, and I heard some remarks like, "Who the hell is
that?" and "That ain't country music." I felt like I was at Bob's
Country Bunker, but I just didn't have any chicken wire to protect me.

Then on comes the second song I'd picked out. It was "Peaceful Easy
Feeling" by the Eagles. My girlfriend, who's a huge Eagles fan and
swears she was at the reunion concert released on Hell Freezes Over,
turns to me and says, "This is my favorite song by them!" So I was
able to tune out the other people in the bar.

Then on comes the third song I'd picked out. It was "Whatcha Gonna Do
Leroy" by Buddy Miller featuring Robert Plant. Hahaha. This is
downhome country, but I like it because Plant's voice is on it. The
others in the bar really had nothing to complain about here, and again
I have no idea what their reaction was since I was focused on my
girlfriend, who was marveling at my diverse taste in music.

Then on comes the fourth and final song I'd picked out. It was
"Paradise by the Dashboard Light" by Meat Loaf. I'd forgotten that I'd
put in this request. So, we quickly downed our drinks, left some money
for the bartender and got the hell out of there before the riot
ensued! And to think, we left them all there listening to Meat Loaf
for eight minutes and 29 seconds! I bet they loved that!
