PARKING DEPARTMENT
Sign language

The City of Boston got cute when trying to communicate with the citizens of Stones nation for this week’s concerts. Ten tow-zone signs were posted around Fenway, featuring not-so-clever Mick-related quips like " ‘You Can’t Always Get What You Want’ so don’t even think of parking illegally," "We ‘Get No Satisfaction’ by towing you: park legally," and "You will be ‘Waiting on a Friend’ to drive you home if you park here."

So what will the city do when other acts that deserve their own tow signs come to town? Here are some suggestions.

Dead Kennedys

"If you’re ‘Too Drunk To Fuck,’ you’re too drunk to be driving and shouldn’t be parking here anyway."

Radiohead

"We just want ‘Everything in Its Right Place.’ So park legally, you hipster scum."

Toad the Wet Sprocket

"You wouldn’t want this night to be remembered as ‘Towed the Wet Sprocket.’"

Stephen Malkmus

"Pavement broke up, so stop trying to park on it."

Michael Jackson

"You might be a ‘Smooth Criminal,’ but don’t even think about parking here (oh, and don’t sleep in the same bed with little boys)."

Kinda makes you long for the "Greetings from Asbury Don’t Park Here" sign from the Springsteen show.
