 The Accordions Worldwide news for the week ending September 7th 2001 included a report about a court judgment, whereby an inconsiderate driver, found guilty of noise pollution, was sentenced to listening to polka music by Frankie Yankovic. Was the accused enthused by polkas on the accordion? Who knows? As in ‘The Mikado’, “My object all sublime I shall achieve in time - To let the punishment fit the crime” – Gilbert and Sullivan. Judge Orders Driver with Loud Stereo to Listen to Polka Music – USA In Cambridge, Ohio this week, a man was sentenced to listen to four hours of polka music by Frankie Yankovic for driving with his windows rolled down and his truck's stereo blaring loud music. Judge John Nicholson who found him guilty of disorderly conduct, told the accused, that he had the choice of paying a US$100 fine or listening to the polka tunes - he chose the music!!!!! The judge said, "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. You may enjoy listening to your music, but many people do not want to hear your music". The accused listened to the full four hours of the judges favourite Yankovic's hits, which included ‘Blue Skirt Waltz’, ‘Who Stole the Kishka’, and ‘Too Fat Polka’. |
