Street-illegal
By Steven | December 9, 2008
Here’s some free advice to any busker accused of falling foul of Auckland City Council’s extraordinary new policy on street theatre requiring buskers to have a sufficient repertoire of songs to last out their performance (maximum playing time: one hour) without repetition:
1. thank the authorised officer kindly,
2. apologise for the breach of the new code of conduct, and
3. launch into a performance of that perennial crowd favourite, A thousand and ten green bottles.

Or if you really want to annoy people, a particularly long version of ‘Mcarthur Park’. I’ve heard people…well, OK, drunks…make it last that long.
Also ‘Hey Jude’ and “American Pie’.
