LOCAL MAN WONDERS WHY AEROSMITH SINGER ISN’T FIXING POTHOLES

Alright, can someone PLEASE explain to me why my property taxes went up 12% this year, but I’m supposed to care that some 75-year-old rock star fell off a stage again?

I saw the headline: “Steven Tyler hospitalized after stage fall.” And I thought, great. More hospital resources. More traffic jams from the ambulance. Meanwhile, the stop sign at the corner of Maple and 3rd has been bent sideways since last Halloween.

Look, I’m not saying the guy shouldn’t get help. But let’s use some common sense here. If you’re old enough to collect Social Security and you’re still wearing scarves and platform boots on a slippery stage, maybe that’s not a “freak accident”—that’s called “actions have consequences.”

Meanwhile, the town spent $40,000 on a “diversity mural” at the library. You know what’s diverse? A road without a crater in it.

Anyway, thoughts and prayers. But maybe keep a walker on stage next time. Just saying what we’re all thinking.
