With a k, Part 2

As the police blotter from Musik (with a k) fest continues to fill, we look past the alcohol-related misdeeds to those that are truly unique.

Police noted Charles Nagy carrying a suspicious-looking box across the Main Street Bridge. In this era of terrorism, one cannot be too careful, so the cops stopped Charles and requested a look inside his box. Charles refused and called several officers Nazis which will pique police interest every time. It turned out that the box contained an accordion.

Chuck was planning on playing the instrument for money at one of the platzes. It's not easy to break into show biz. To do so while incarcerated is well-nigh impossible. Still, as Crosby, Stills & Nash sang, "To sing the blues, you've got to live them, too. Carry on". Perhaps the Chuckster was hoping to inject some bitter prison experience into his "blues accordion" compositions. Actually, Johnny Cash's career took off after "Live From Folsom Prison". Maybe. this was all a plan foe Chuck to record "Live From the Bethlehem Jail".

Nothing is more sacred to an urban Lehigh Valley resident than his on-street parking spot. We have all seen lawn chairs and trash cans standing vigil over freshly-shoveled curbsides after a snowfall. With a swarm of 1 million visitors descending on down town Bethlehem for the Fest, lawn chairs and trash cans just aren't enough.

When Tim Moroz found his parking spot occupied and the boxes he had placed there rudely shoved aside, he placed a plastic bag full of dog poop beneath the offending vehicle's windshield wiper with a note stating "I hope you get cancer and die".

Tim was cited for harassment. Should he opt for a trial, he has a good chance of beating the rap if "the jury of his peers' consists of fellow Bethlehemites still steaming over the parking situation during Musik (with a k) fest. His chances would be even better had he chosen a biodegradable bag for the dog poop. Those plastic bags can last for 20 years in a landfill (or on a windshield). It makes him look very vindictive.

Ah, Musik (with a k) fest, a veritable Font of Unintentional Comedy.
