Readers Write: Mayor Goes Into The Wee Hours Singing “Islands In The Stream” With Fergie While A City Peacefully Sleeps
Mayor Michael Nutter spent tuesday evening at Time‘s Open Mic. It apparently was quite a hoot. Fergie was there as well.
At one point the conversation centered around who was really the mayor, Fergie or Nutter.
He also performed the offical last song ot the night.
What’s he doing out so late? Doesn’t he have a city to run in the morning?
We thank you for the tip, dear reader, but respectfully, we had a whole different reaction to this than the knee-jerk “Doesn’t he have a city to run in the morning?” tact. Not that you’re wrong — he most certainly does — but where you say “uh-oh,” we say “bravo!” I mean, haven’t you ever found yourself in the midst of late summer/early spring/dead of winter/all of fall, mired in the ceaseless work that seems to populate your life, and said, “Fuggit. Even though it’s only Tuesday night and I should just watch this Tivo’d episode of Wife Swap, what I REALLY wanna do is go out, get totally blown out and close down the bar.” It is a natural human response, and it’s a scientific fact that if you don’t engage this once in a while (but not too often), you will surely die in misery, regardless of your accomplishments in the human realm. Like they say, you can’t take it with you. Like we say, so you might as well spill a little out on the floor in a midweek drunken haze. Good on ya, Dude. Just another reason we voted for ya.
