A Monkey, a Music Store, and My Diminishing Faith in Humanity
Seriously? A monkey? Escaped from where, I’d like to know? Was it performing Cirque du Soleil for squirrels last week and decided Nashville was its next stop? Because honestly, the level of absurdity weve reached is breathtaking. Apparently, a primate – a primate, people! – went on a rampage inside a music store in Tennessee.
I picture the scene: pristine guitars, meticulously arranged sheet music, and then BAM! Chaos unleashed by a creature whose primary concerns are probably bananas and swinging from things it shouldnt be. I bet someone’s “amazing” social media video will show the whole thing set to some cheesy country tune. Fantastic.
And what did this monkey do, you ask? Apparently, it was “causing chaos.” Well, duh! What else does a monkey do when suddenly thrust into a room full of shiny objects and bewildered humans? Its a monkey! They fling things! They climb things! They probably tried to play the drums with their feet.
I’m just…exhausted. We have wildfires, political unrest, and now this. A monkey wreaking havoc on musical instruments. Is this some kind of elaborate metaphor for society itself? I wouldnt be surprised. Someone needs to seriously re-evaluate animal containment practices, or better yet, maybe we all need a long nap.
