Quiet Act of Rebellion

44a44dde0009d037c8400cb8e1_3I sometimes rent and pick up an I-Go Car from a parking space a few blocks away from me in Lincoln Square. I love the car share system and have been using it fairly regularly since I moved back. Drivers are kind to each other and generally leave the car clean and gassed up for the next person. Lincoln Square is the land of expensive baby strollers, the Old Town School of Folk Music, and ultra-pleasantness. Which is why two days ago I got great joy from changing the pre-set #1 on the car radio from WBEZ, the NPR-affiliate, to B96, home of Top 40, deliciously obnoxious morning shows and white deejays who talk like they're black. Who knows, if it catches on, maybe the Old Town School will be inviting Chris Brown for a concert on the mainstage one of these days.
