To the haphazard brass band marching up and down E. Olive Way playing “Careless Whisper” for hours on a TUESDAY night: Thanks for letting me know I am, in fact, getting too old for Capitol Hill’s antics.
I moved into my apartment for less than $1,000 per month in 2021. I always said I’d hang onto this unit forever. But as I laid awake at midnight listening to your twelfth shoddy rendition of “Careless Whisper,” I realized that I AM getting old. But, any way you slice it, playing music that loud and long on a weeknight is rude.
I hope all your phone chargers die.

Great close!
This song you mention, Careless Whispers, was written by this guy with two first names. George Michael. It’s like, Hey I cannot decide what my first name is so I will pretend like i I can’t think of a last name so I’ll put two stupid white guy first names together and then make a lot of stupid pop songs that a bunch of dummies will play and annoy people with. Cool. You can google the lyrics, terrible lyrics of course.

There are a billion others. Just a few examples.
It’s funny, like, OK, I need to make up a fake name for myself, so I am way too lazy to think up one with a real first and last name so I’ll just have two first names.
It’s super stupid.
