Segacs's World I Know

Mike Boone finds the Spoonman – perhaps Montreal’s most famous busker – annoying, and he wants him to shut up:

Spoonman has been “playing” his “instrument” outside Ogilvy for 13 years.

It seems longer.

As one of those eccentric Montrealers who stroll downtown’s main drag without headphones, I endure daily exposure to the Spoonman. The clacking, which was clicking until he switched from metal to wood, is annoying all year round, but never more so than when it provides discordant accompaniment to what is transpiring in the Christmas window.

I’ll say the same thing to Mike Boone that I said to the City of Montreal when they tried to pass a law to silence him five years ago: Let the Spoonman play!
