LOUDBRAIN

Somewhere, Art Garfunkle Laughed

Today, the massive electronic clarion at Boston's Downtown Crossing clanged out a welcome. Welcome Spring! Welcome visitors! Welcome shoppers!

And what tune ripped through our springing, visiting, shopping ears?

What did the town fathers choose to blast over a five block area, rattling windows, setting off car alarms, and making babies cry?

'The Sounds Of Silence'.

The irony was entirely lost the assembled springers, visitors, and shoppers.
