From the day
Perspective: The Future Historian · Sound
George Michael’s synth-groove on "Everything She Wants" bleeds out of every passing Chevy, competing with the rhythmic jackhammering of a Manhattan carriage house restoration. I watched the driver scowl at the pump, muttering about how $1.12 a gallon is a total rip-off just to sit in Midtown gridlock. Listening to the digital chirps from a nearby electronics shop, I realized this cacophony is the exact frequency of a turning point. Everyone needs to just chill and realize we’re trading old brick for silicon and smoke.
