Rock me, Amadeus

Rock me, Amadeus



This just in from the UK:



Co-op, a chain of grocery stores, is experimenting with playing classical music outside its shops, to stop youths from hanging around and intimidating customers. It seems to work well...



The most extensive use of aural policing so far, though, has been in underground stations. After a pilot at Elm Park station on the London Underground, classical music now fills 30 other stations on the network. The most effective deterrents, according to a spokesman for Transport for London, are anything sung by Pavarotti or written by Mozart.



The commentary is both hilarious and thoughtful. As for me, I wonder if they've tried "The Best Of Bread"?
