I woke up this morning and felt like some music. Alexa, I yelled, play songs by R.E.M.
She did. First ‘Everybody Hurts’ and then ‘It’s the End of the World as We Know it.’
Ouch. Reality check.
Alexa I’ll even listen to ‘Shiny Happy People over those. And I don’t like ‘Shiny’ one bit. At least they are happy.
Alexa then — I kid you not — emanates with the opening of ‘Shiny.’ AAARGH.
I’m putting my head back under the pillow: ‘Off Alexa.’ I shout. ‘Alexa off!’
