'member how I said that I'd legitimately never stood next to someone listening to music and recognized the band? That was less than a month ago.
Wednesday morning, I was on the green line on my way to work, and the air conditioning suddenly turned off despite the fact that the subway is UNDERGROUND in an entirely ENCLOSED SPACE that doesn't get ANY NATURAL AIR. Without the whooshing from the vents, I was able to hear the music coming from the headphones of the guy in front of me. I listened in for a second and dismissed it as some hip-hop crap, but during the bridge, I realized that I not only knew but loved the song!
It was Porno for Pyros' "Pets", one of the most awesomest songs from the 90s. I said in my previous article that it's not like I would actually tap a listener on the shoulder to say anything, and that's still true, but let me tell you–I was dying to. I felt such a connection with this shaved-headed, camel-hair-coat-wearing Wall Streeter over this one song that's probably the only song we have in common. Still, it completely made up for the guy behind me who had burped in my ear a minute earlier.
