The Future of the Backstreet Boys?

I was looking for my car in the rain when I stumbled into a small house party. A band had just finished setting up and began to play. It became clear that the performers were the Backstreet Boys, but they had all aged heavily and looked to be in their late 30's. Most were paunchy and stubbled.

They began singing to a sparse crowd of women, but paused so that the singer could interject, "Where are we? In the Haight? I don't care where we are, I just want to get laaaaid!" This comment got my dander up, and I shouted as they began to play again, "You've lost another fan!!" I stormed out to my car.

A few minutes later, an older woman found me outside and praised me for what I had done. She said, "Once you left, I felt that I could leave too." Then she walked off into the rain.
