Tambourine Man

An email:

This may be of interest to your blog readers... There
is a man we refer to as the "Tambourine Man" that
stands near the Three Coins Restaurant parking lot on
Nebraska about once or twice a week shouting & singing
his religious preachings to passing traffic while
shaking a tambourine. At first it was kind of funny,
just another unique part of our neighborhood "flair,"
but now, especially when he's out early on Saturday
mornings it's just plain annoying. I'm all about
freedom of speech, but I really wish this gentleman
would find somewhere else to preach. I haven't called
the police because I doubt they would do anything.
Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions about this?

  6. So sorry to hear that a probably schizophrenic street preacher offends your "it's all about me" sensibilities. My suggestion for you would be to move to someplace where they don't allow silly shit like freedom of speech. Or, don't go to 3 coins. Anything else?

  8. It's interesting to think about the difference between "just another unique part of our neighborhood" and "it's just plain annoying."

  9. I'd try the police, particularly if it's real early or late. Just ignore the boobs full of wisecracks here, most of em probably rent anyway becauses they can't hold a job down (Aaahhhhhahhahhahhaaa). Be glad you're not over on Florida by the new car dealers that seem to love disco DJ's. Barrrffffff.

  12. "most of em probably rent anyway becauses they can't hold a job down (Aaahhhhhahhahhahhaaa)."

    Wow, what an obnoxious elitist son of a bitch. Did you ever consider some people rent because they CANT AFFORD a home? Do you think you're better than others because a set of circumstances has made you fortunate enough to buy a home? Do you think all poor people can't hold down a job? Maybe you also think all black people all lazy? Whoever wrote this is FUCKED UP!
    Did buying a home make you an asshole or were you like that already...??
