WASHINGTON- A local GW student was disheartened this morning to learn that the busker, someone who plays music for money, outside of the Metro station had yet to learn anymore songs.
“It's every goddam day with him,” began Alexis Fornswarthe, covering her ears in her second floor JBKO room. “I thought it was kind of cool at first, getting the city experience, but if I have to hear Adele’s Hello as performed by a forty year old with a broken guitar one more time, I’m going to kill someone.”
The busker, a Mr. John Broxley, had declined commenting. Observational studies have shown that Broxley usually starts his craft at 5 A.M., at which point he plays his indie-folk rendition of Hello approximately 197 times, ending at 6 P.M. Tax filings indicate that he averages a healthy $7.32 per day.
“It’s gotten to the point that I’ve started offering him money not to play,” continued Fornswarthe, looking sullenly out her window. “But he goes on about this ‘being his art, man’ and how I ‘just don’t get it.’ No one got into the Louvre playing a twangy rendition of Hello a hundred goddamn times in a row.”
At press time, Broxley reportedly had changed the song. He can be found outside Foggy Bottom Metro, playing Stacy’s Mom around 260 goddamn times a day.
