"Classic rock is blaring from the speakers, but at this table, silence rings out." Just what I want: classic rock while I'm trying to read something of moderate complexity.

(Actually, most days I catch the Metrobus willy-nilly; what with cell phones, the reading isn't as silent as it could be, but the bus gets me to and from work.)
