TONY SAYS:
So, listen to this… this Charli XCX broad, right? Big pop star, supposedly. “Brat,” the album’s called. Sounds like something Meadow would listen to, a bunch of … noise. Anyway, she married this drummer, George Daniel. From The 1975. You ever heard of ‘em? Probably not, unless you’re some college kid.
They got hitched at Hackney Town Hall, of all places. Hackney? Sounds like a shithole. Some schmuck with a phone caught ‘em on the steps, all dressed up like they’re going to some goddamn wedding, the broad in white, the guy in a suit. Like it was a surprise or somethin’. News travels fast, even faster than that little shit Paulie’s coke habit.
Then, this Charli chick puts a TikTok up—seven million views. Seven million! More people saw that than watched The Godfather – although I doubt they appreciate it as much. She’s all playing coy, you know, “Oh, George almost cried when he saw me walkin’ down the aisle.” Give me a break. Like a goddamn soap opera.
She puts up more videos. He’s wearing her veil. “Bridal party energy,” she calls it. Sounds like a bunch of wasted broads, probably. The whole thing seems pretty… small-time. Intimate ceremony, they call it. Sounds like the kind of thing you could pull off in a back room at the Bada Bing, if you could get rid of the strippers and the smell of stale beer and desperation.
These two have been together for a while, engaged last year. They even worked together. He co-produced some of her songs. He was in one of her music videos too – doing some kinda dance, a “viral Apple dance,” she calls it. The kid’s got some moves, I guess. Better than that dance Carmela tries to do in the living room. A whole lot better.
This Daniel guy's also in a band, The 1975. Got a song called "Chocolate." Makes you think, doesn't it? Life's like a box of chocolates... you never know what you're gonna get. Some are gonna be good, some are gonna be… well, let's just say they ain’t gonna satisfy. And some of 'em are gonna be poison. Just gotta be careful what you bite into.
Anyway, the whole thing’s pretty harmless, I guess. A couple of kids getting married. More power to ‘em. Just don’t expect an invite to the reception. Unless, of course, they need a little… persuasion to get their hands on a certain vintage wine collection I’ve got stored away… capisce? Fuhgeddaboudit. Let’s get some gabagool. I’m starving. This whole thing got me thinking about lunch.
