A letter to the band at the Green Line Cafe
Dear band,
I have no problem at all with musicians playing in coffeeshops. It's often quite pleasant, and I'm all in favor of local musicians getting their start somewhere.
I do have a problem with someone coming up to me at the table where I've been sitting for hours and telling me that, if I'm going to be there while the band plays, they suggest a $5 donation.
By all means put out a bucket with a sign asking for tips. But asking me to pay to hear music I don't care about in a venue where I've already paid my "rent"...screw you.
Love, me.
