You know what I'm talking about. At the beginning of every American Idol season, literally tens of thousands of people line up convinced that they are the next Idol. And yet, probably 90% of them (at least, the 90% Fox shows us) couldn't carry a tune if they had a gun up against their head. So, what makes these people delusional? Noone in their life has told them they aren't good. Now, there's nothing wrong with not being able to do something. I'm not a good singer or dancer, for instance. If I thought I was good, and I was about to go on a show where I could embarass myself in front of potentially millions of people, I would really hope someone I cared about cared enough about me to let me know I suck.
The reason I bring this up is because I see it on campus all the time. Guys sitting around playing the guitar or singing. Someone playing the piano. Look, if you're doing it to get better, I say go for it. But the middle of campus is not the ideal spot for practice. No, they're there so others can think how cool they are. Will someone please go up and let them know they aren't any good? I'd really appreciate it.

What I don't understand are the people who play the piano in the Wilk Terrace? Creepy . . . don't they know everyone has been left with no choice but to listen to them?
The first sentence wasn't supposed to be a question.
Add points to your score. Well stated.
