Keep Your Day Job

I'm back in Dublin again. There are several "pedestrian only" shopping areas in the downtown area. Buskers (street performers) are everywhere. In fact, the band U2 got its start busking on Grafton Street. I read in the newspaper the Dublin City Council just passed a law requiring all buskers to have a repertoire of 20 or more songs. The merchants apparently got sick and tired of hearing the same songs. One shopkeeper was quoted as saying, "There's this one guy who plays the same two Coldplay songs over and over again, all day long." I don't know about you, but that's my version of Hell.
