You Shoulda Heard 'Em Just Around Lunchtime

Sometimes I find myself cursing this city.

The exorbitant rents, the cutthroat competition, the tiny living spaces, the price of bananas, the hipsters, the models, the velvet-rope mentality, the privileged, the underprivileged, homeless people with pets...

But then there are days like today when I look out my office window and can see them setting up Lincoln Center pavilion for a press event.

OK, not just a press event. A mini-concert by the Rolling Stones:

*Start Me Up
*A new song from their new album's tour, which launches today
*Brown Sugar

My coworkers and I took a leisurely stroll across the street and stood about on a beautiful spring day and watched Mick and the boys play. People were climbing the carefully landscaped trees. Wading into the reflecting pool. Clapping like they had rhythm.

Sextagenarians still rock.



And I guess New York does too.

I'm now going to go spend too much for a banana.
