QuoteAfter playing upturned 5-gallon plastic buckets for tips, T.J. Nelson, 14, now has real drums that he has played downtown a few days. City police told him Tuesday he had to vacate a street corner after a business owner a few doors away complained. Also a city ordinance forbids playing for money on city streets.

Looks like a "Family Dollar Store" shopping cart.  Wonder how much he paid for it...?

Well that's a shame. The police should focus on fighting real crime, not hassling someone who could have chosen to be doing much worse things than playing drums on a street corner!
