Singing

I confess a guilty satisfaction at the discomfiture of Paris Metro commuters. Karmic logic suggests the Flea shall suffer alongside them soon enough in the Toronto subway system. My favourite part of this story about annoying singing ads is the inevitable response from the Luddite corner.

Saxophonist Daud Stelian, who has played in Paris subway tunnels for over a year, said he feared for his business. "We could lose some of our audience. The chanting billboards distract people from us musicians," he said. "Paris is a very cultural city, and we get lots of nice comment on our music from travelers. But the singing ads just don't fit in."
