He’s been busking in Comox for four years but recently the town told him to shut his performances down because he didn’t have a busking permit.
Cunningham decided to get one. “I went to go get a license but two weeks later they called and said I can’t because my music is loud, too loud,” said Cunningham.
A Comox town official said this was the first time that an application has been denied since its busking bylaws were introduced nearly 15 years ago. “I was not happy at all,” said Cunningham.
The town said it’s received about a dozen complaints about Cunningham being too loud or playing in the same location for too long. It says this is also the first time an instrument has been banned even though there is nothing in the town’s bylaws banning an accordion.
The Comox residents we spoke to question the decision.

Cunningham hopes the media attention will cause the town to reconsider its position. “That I can get my license and can go back and play again by the rules,” he said. Cunningham says everyone might not like his music but that’s part of art. If he does continue playing the town says it could issue him a $200 ticket.

I know, I mean, why should anyone in the western world have to listen to (usually from a significant distance, such as down the road) music or something he/she does not like!?
It should be illegal...
Obviously, one of the great evils within the problem of evil, is music pollution...
Much more of a problem than invasive government...
Canadian Mark Steyn & Bullies
What 'cracked me up' last night is when Canadian, Mark Steyn stated (paraphrased) that the only Republican celebrities were Pat Boone and one of the Oak Ridge Boys.
In other words, there are no relevant Republican celebrities, he reasons.
Regardless if whether or not that is true or not, I am Canadian, a moderate conservative and have no horse in this race. But, Steyn has some classic funny spins...
By the way, I stand up to bullies. I have zero desire to bully anyone. I embrace that I live in the democratic West.
I agree with Carlson and Steyn, I reject 'group think'. I am to be led by the Holy Spirit and scripture and other sound sources of truth, to reason through Christian faith, theology and philosophy.
I reason too many celebrities love this world (system), in temporary common grace and comfort and are ignoring the documented finalized future, Kingdom of God.
Jesus Christ did state it was very difficult for the rich to inherit the Kingdom of God (Matthew 19, Mark 10, Luke 18). However, like with any person, it is possible for the rich to be saved by God's grace through faith, not works (Ephesians 1-2).
Crucially...
Philosophically and theologically, there are different kinds and types of success. and becoming a celebrity is a type of success, wealth is a type of success; but knowing the true God of scripture through Jesus Christ, is another far more important kind and type of success. That is the only kind of success that maintains meaningful everlasting life (Revelation 20-22).
