I never used those ear-bud things so basically it was whatever radio station the kid working at the gym that day had on. Personally, it never mattered much to me, I always pretty much tuned out everything except what I was doing. As a matter of fact, on the rare occasions when nothing was playing, I was good with that. I remember back in nineteen ninety and something I was lifting at a power meet and there was this cheesy boom-box someone had set up and when I came out to get my opening squat in, John Cougar was blasting away with ". . . R O C K in the USA . . ." and I asked the grouchy old meet director if someone could turn it off, and he sounded real put out and disgusted, but he says, "This guy wants the music off . . .".
