    First of all, Stephanie, screw you and your pal Roger if you think the fact people don't get mugged and are forced to walk home naked with gang tags is part of how New York has lost its "edge". I highly doubt that's the only "edgy" way a "boy" can become a "man" these days. Oh, and double screw you two for being idiots and thinking that similar shit doesn't happen today. The day L&O stops making "ripped from the headlines" episodes is the day you
    can tell me that.

    Also, ending on the Whole Foods quote was totally cliche... not edgy at all, Stephanie.


    The rest of what I was going to write is better summed up by Kamer. I really wanted to go on a huge rant but it's already better said above.

    The best song about London is actually about its werewolf population, which is at least partially American.

    It's been almost ten years since I spent a semester living in London and I have always remembered having an amazing time there but wow, reading your laundry list of complaints against the city was like a flashback of wtf moments I had forgotten about, i.e. "What? I have to leave the pub now? Because I'm no where near able fall on my undersized bed and pass out yet."

    On the plus side though, if we drank at the student union, we got have priced drinks. Because the government actually SUBSIDIZES student drinking! No shit. I swear.

    And I mean, can you imagine if the two cities had a fight? What, would London's arsenal be antique muskets?

    Hooray for guns!

    "There is not one good song about Foggy London Town."
    Oh, come on now. There is too!

    I am with you on the rest, though. I love how all of these pieces start with "Nobody gets stabbed in New York anymore! Who would want to visit a city where they aren't guaranteed a good tourist mugging on the subway?!"

    @hortense: You are correct about this.

    BUT we still have a millionfuckingmore songs about New York, and they're all awesome.

    Sadly this is the beginning of some bad, bad stuff. Odd and needless trinkets, forgetting his keys, forgetting the names of grandchildren, it all starts with carrying little toys. #paulmccartney

    Why'd he succumb to the bad dye job and plastic surgery? He looks like his girlfriend should start leading now when they dance. #paulmccartney
