Angry local resident blasts 'Peabo Bryson' over faulty streetlights: 'This is basic common sense, not rocket science!'

A frustrated local resident erupted in a community Facebook group today, blaming the smooth R&B crooner Peabo Bryson for a five-day streetlight outage on Maplewood Drive. “I’m not paying my taxes so Peabo Bryson can sing ‘A Whole New World’ while we trip over broken curbs in the dark,” wrote user Karen McMuffin, who claimed she saw a man resembling the singer loitering near the electrical box last Tuesday. “The city says it’s a ‘maintenance issue,’ but my common sense tells me if you hire a guy named Peabo to fix lights, you’re asking for a romantic ballad, not a working junction.” The post has racked up 2,000 shares and a flood of comments, with some demanding Bryson be served a cease-and-desist order for “harassing the neighborhood with soul.”
