Every year, right around Thanksgiving, people begin debating when we should all start listening to Christmas music. It seems as though with each passing year the local radio stations flip over to all-Christmas, all-the-time earlier and earlier in November. Honestly, at this point I'm just amazed they haven't started doing it right after Halloween. People keep complaining about it, but there is a very simple reason these stations decide to do this: they get amazing ratings during that period. Apparently, all the people who complain about it are doing so as they tune in. But, today I was reminded that there are songs which are just as summer-specific as the ones which should only be played when it is a winter wonderland. For example, unless it is above 65 degrees than you should leave the Jimmy Buffett album for another day. Same goes for this week's musical interlude. This afternoon I was driving around with my windows down on a beautiful 80 degree afternoon as we officially welcome summer with Memorial Day weekend and it just seemed to fit. If it was December? Not so much.
