iPods are truly for everyone - laarree - 09-02-2008
I was on my way to work earlier today, getting on the subway at my Brooklyn subway stop.
I saw a 20-something-ish hipster-ish white guy on the train with long, somewhat matted
hair -- at first, I thought they might have been dreadlocks. He was wearing filthy pants and
a similarly filthy wife-beater t-shirt, had lots of tattoos on his arms, a bulging backpack,
and was acting dazed and nodding out while sitting in a way I recognized as being
characteristic of heroin addicts in public. I'm guessing from the condition of his clothes,
he was probably homeless. While nodding, he was fumbling with his recent-generation
teal-blue iPod Shuffle. He got off at the same stop I did, walked to the same uptown train
platform, and as I waited for my train, he shambled along the platform, stopped and stood
in one spot, and shuffled a little bit as he held his iPod Shuffle, the white cords of his
earbuds dangling down from his impaired brain to his precious little device, as if doing a
sad parody of the silhouetted iPod dancers in commercials. The train came, I got on, and
lost track of him.
iPods truly are for everyone.

I bet he was listening to...
"If you wanna ride... don't ride the white horse...."
"white horse.. don't ride the white horse..."

Me too. It is, however, much better known than Sad Kermit's poignant cover.
