The stale music of Kennedy Plaza

        I am a RIPTA regular in Kennedy Plaza.  I can only wish RIPTA's management better or more efficient funding. There is no excuse for less than superb bus service in Little Rhody. Indeed a car should be almost superfluous here. But I must  vent a petty complaint: the piped- in- music in Kennedy Plaza has not been changed - I am sure- in 20 years.  Day after day I hear the pleasant but oh- so- stale music I recognize as Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21 , popularly  known from the 1967 Swedish movie, Elvira Madigan; and Rossin's William Tell Overture, popularly known as  The Lone Ranger theme form the old TV show.

          Standing in the garbage of Kennedy Plaza , counting all those horrid cigarette butts , seeing all those poor alienated souls, thinking about the poor masked man and a tragic female type rope walker,  I wonder if  a statue of St. Jude might be erected in the center of Kennedy Plaza: he is still the patron saint of hopeless cases !

           St. Jude or Edward Achorn hear my prayer: change the music in Kennedy Plaza. Let me hear Buddy Holly's " Things are getting better " or even " The day the music died ".
