We at the Reader have compiled some of the best, biggest, and oddest music stories of the week.
Downtown aldermen advance a push to ban street musicians from the Magnificent Mile and State StreetAldermen Brendan Reilly (42nd) and Brian Hopkins (2nd) want to block street musicians from some of the most heavily trafficked areas of the Mag Mile and State Street, claiming that their presence makes it impossible for some people to sleep or work. Their ordinance just got an endorsement from a City Council committee, and the full council is scheduled to take a look at it on February 22—in a few months, if you notice that downtown is less musical, at least you’ll know why.
