[Dixielandjazz] Music Hath Charms to Soothe the Savage Breast

[tcashwigg at aol.com]

Sounds like perfectly Suicidal marketing to me Pat,  without teenagers 
the malls would certainly go out of business, at least in the states 
anyway.   Teens are the mainstay of shoppers in the Malls  with Daddy's 
money.   They could accomplish the same effect by just playing Pre 
1950's OKOM  music over the P. A system    Or perhaps just Kenny & 
Louis What a Wonderful World in an endless loop like Musak.

LOL  :))

 Hi Steve, 
 
  Here is another variation. There is a pilot scheme being run in 
shopping malls to keep mobs of youngsters on the move. It has been 
found that playing a high pitched mosquito like note over speakers 
makes teenagers feel generally uncomfortable and induces them to move 
away. We old `uns, that is over about twenty two years of age, have 
hearing which has generally deteriorated to the point where the `note` 
cannot be heard. 
 
  Now if someone will invent something which I can carry in my pocket, 
which will turn off all music written since about 1950 being played 
within 50 yards, I would pay good money. Just think. That would include 
`Wonderful World` Oh! bliss! 
 
 Cheers 
 
 Pat
