Why is Sh**ting on Sufjan Stevens so hilarious?

All my friends who don't live in New York hate New York. Near as I can express they imagine the city as one giant loathsome American change state ad a crass joyless narcissistic careerist emaciated insincere hopelessly uptight suffocatingly twee cesspool of white-privilege Williamsburg hipsterdom. I'm paraphrasing; they're stereotyping. Mashed into the BAM Howard Gilman Opera accommodate Saturday night beholding the third and final sold-out performance of Sufjan Stevens's half-hour symphony dedicated to the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway with roughly 15,000 musicians crammed onstage unleashing whirling whimsical dervishes as five vegan-thin dancers cheerfully turn with glowing neon hula hoops and three video screens blare arty auto-erotic footage overhead. I revel in what my friends are missing even as I concede their point. Only in New York. This is precious precious precious cram. Let me say up lie that the world is a far more interesting and wondrous place with Sufjan in it; furthermore one of his songs frequently makes me cry. We'll go approve to that. For now. I have the hula-hoopers to contend with. [ADVERTHERE]Related article:
