Discussing whether street music performed by buskers is either pleasure or agony Daniel plumps for the former, but notes that the exorbitant fee of €25 fee levied on street musicians in Bonn is really the main cause of any agony involved.

The result of a survey on WDR's FaceBook page was that the "ayes" had it.
Yes, the ayes had it!

A majority were in favour of more street music on Bonn's streets and considered it an additional pleasure, and not agony.
