I'm presently into the third of George's books so I've been
able to overcome my annoyance at all the music. I even knew
one of the songs recently. If you don't, the music references
are not going to mean anything and be annoying.
Realistically, why don't people people in a book that is
usually set in a short time period listen to the same song
occasionally? . Mark
