   I was the top of the authority ladder, so nope.   
      
   They had one appeal, (usually "Aww, c'mon, pleeease") & when I denied it,    
   they were forbidden to seek further appeal.   
      
   After day one, they'd come in each day, after school & ask, politely, "has   
   anyone played #37 yet today?" & if I said no, they'd ask if they could &,    
   of course, per my stated rule, I let them. (most waited for friends to show   
   up, but claimed postion at the juke, to be the one to put the coin in,    
   while all watched me nervously) (I was only a year or two older than them -   
   -it felt good!)   
      
   I'd then bury my face in my notebook, creating complex algorithms in BASIC.

   I was 17, single, & free!   
      
   Good times. . . I managed to avoid getting a permanent place to settle into    
   & pay bills until aged 19!   
      
   The only other time I loathed a song so much was a Bob Seger album that    
   played in the background as I was being beaten & otherwise tortured in a   
   remote POW camp for half a summer.   
      
   That song came on for three year, on the radio, & I'd begin to smell the    
   woods & cabin where I was kept, & feel the terror. . . It's eased with    
   time, now it's just a song I'm not partial to. . .   
      
   Mostly now I play music in the background, using Accuradio website in my    
   first browser tab.  Like now I have classic rock album cuts (not just the    
   #1 hits, but some deeper into their albums)   
      
   &, as "CC Rider" completes, I end this message. . .
