It's difficult to hear of this. License fees for offering entertainment for free?! For what reason do they, those who while away their lives dreaming up such tripe, need to even consider this or concern themselves in any way with this activity? I think we should start a letter writing campaign to the folks who develop such ideas and the letters should all have three words in them. (Get a life!) There is probably no activity on the planet that is more harmless than offering free music entertainment.

Granted Peter, not all who choose to perform in this way are the best examples of the art form but the same can be said of any pastime, hobby or occupation. Have you ever considered another mode of transportation or one of those headphone equipped portable personal music players so you wouldn't have to be bothered with listening to such offensive notes?

If the rule makers of the world would channel just a fraction of the energy they expend on nonsense like this, and worse, to try to solve the real problems facing the planet today like unemployment, poverty, hunger, homelessness, disease, etc. we'd all soon live in a paradise of our own making and would have plenty of reasons to want to sing and share joy in the streets.

Don't get me started.
