chonny lives in manhattan apartment with three spirited roommates, and they enjoy, on occasion, knocking back a few glasses of wine for an impromptu roomie-bonding sing-a-long. “one night around 10, after a particularly taxing day, we decided to bring the vibe down with a little peter gabriel,” chonny says. “as we all belted out ‘in your eyes’ — with a couple of tears in ours — we heard a voice shout across the alleyway, “YOUR MUSIC SUCKS!”
the next day, one of our uptown girls found this note pasted to the callbox downstairs.
adds chonny: “what really upsets me is that the writer doesn’t know the difference between peter and billy. shall we move onto bon jovi?”

I know I wouldn’t know the difference between Peter Gabriel and Billy Joel. And I would have loved to have been there for the random, “You music sucks.”

I like that the prosecutor praises their talent
She’s trying to be nice but also ‘mentioning’ the fact that she’s a lawyer and could sue them for disorderly drunkenness.
Go Team Prosecutor!

You May Be Right, Big Shot. I suppose a New York State of Mind can lead to Pressure, but in all Honesty, It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me.

Am I the only one who’s glad this “prosecuter” doesn’t work in my county’s courthouse? Or is it just me that thinks that’s an “e” instead of an “o”?

They have karaoke bars for that.
The prosecutor should have them charged with disturbing the peace and have a good night’s sleep.

Not fond of lawyers, but this one has a compelling case. Go back to the dorm and play beer pong.

The only thing good about this note is that there is a link to “Movin’ Out” at the bottom..
Ahhhh, those were the days….

I see this as just a polite note written to some very inconsiderate people. Nothing passive aggressive about it.
