Go Busk Yourself
Listen up, Park Slope: it's bad enough that everyone thinks we're elitist douchebags with our expensive apartments, stroller mafia, celebrity residents, and "best neighborhood in new york" bragging rights. The least we could do to keep people off our backs is show a little bit of humility when it comes to our subway buskers. But nooooo...we don't have any disgusting, toothless, barefoot homeless guys strumming a guitar, or trios of doo-wop singers who haven't bathed in weeks...or even some crazy person dressed up in an Elmo costume playing the accordion. Nope, Park Slope gets this guy above.
That's Right. Some well-to-do motherfucker playing the glockenspiel.
This dickwad was serenading us Monday morning on at the 7th Avenue F stop (sorry for the blurry picture, but I was laughing too hard to get a clear shot). There's nothing more fucking annoying that hearing high-pitched bells while you are waiting for a fucking F train. Oh, and the song he was playing? Roberta Flack's "Killing Me Softly." How apropos.
PS, look at all that money he has. That's more money I've ever seen in a busker's bin. You don't see that shit at West 4th. Heck, that's more money than I've ever seen anyone give the homeless lady who sits in the southwest exit tunnel of the 9th Street station. Or is that a man? I don't know...I never pay attention to homeless people.

No one thinks Slopeheads are elitist except other tragically pathetic Slopeheads. No, elitists live on the upper east side of Manhattan and have summer homes in the Hamptons. Slopeheads are just pedestrian, self-absorbed douchebags. Thanks !
