To the store in the mall I patronized with my friend: I know it isn't a choice the workers made, or even a selection by the main office, and that there is a company that produces and selects the music played in your store. However there is no way EVER that Billie Holiday's rendition of "Strange Fruit" should be set to an upbeat jazzy tune, and played while people are shopping for clothes. That is an extremely important and telling song, and is not to be taken lightly. It is akin to having "The Color Purple" performed by clowns.
SHAME ON YOU TWICE FOR PLAYING IT ON Dr. King's birthday as well!!!
Don't think I am not writing a letter either, because it is just wrong wrong wrong.
