So, back to the buskers....

[candyleonard.livejournal.com]

It sounds like there is a lot of neutral, a lot of negative, and a lot of positive (though "better than traffic noise" is not exactly a stellar endorsement of buskers). It sounds like there is some room for improvement and increased variety in the music that we are confronted with in the square.

does that mean I need a silencer for my rifle?

How about dropping this ridiculous issue?

no, you just have to switch to your machete

I'm not entirely sure why we're talking about this (again)? Buskers are going to busk whether I have an opinion or not...

I personally like the fellow with the slide guitar. I have his Christmas tape, purchased years ago, still.

BRB, getting my pitchfork out of public storage.

Or just start a band and take some vigilante action on this issue :)

[closetalker11.livejournal.com]

It's not vigilante action if we call it a grassroots effort.

should we add buskers to dslj bingo?

I miss when Tracy Chapman would play down there.

I liked Amelia White, but she moved to Nashville. I liked Lily Holbrook but she moved to NYC.

If you're posting for someone else, that's fine, but you should say so and preferably identify the other person (at least with a pseudonym)

I picked up two CDs by the Minneapolis band A Night In The Box when they did a 4-day residency of the Harvard Square pit, so I'd have to say yes.

Nah, you need one for your organic solar-powered burrito-eating chainsaw. This is davis square after all...

Hmmm, I'm detecting a pattern there, Ron...

Good point, and I think it goes for everywhere in the USA, God bless her.

I have to remind myself of this every day when I almost run over someone's dog on the bike path, or when someone's child runs right in front of me without looking.

I move that this become the new subtitle for davis_square.

Anyone else remember when Tyson lost to Busker Douglas?

This thread is bingo-friendly.
