And that’s really the thinnest of threads NewsCut needs to bring back an old favorite — the time Joshua Bell played as a street musician in the Washington Metro (including the not-too-shabbyy “Chaconne” from Johann Sebastian Bach’s Partita No. 2 in D Minor) and almost nobody noticed.

About the blogger
Bob Collins
bcollins@mpr.org • @newscutBob Collins retired from Minnesota Public Radio in 2019 after 12 years of writing NewsCut and pointing out to complainants that posts weren’t news stories. A son of Massachusetts, he was a news editor 1992-1998, created the MPR News regional website in 1999, invented the popular Select A Candidate, started several blogs, and every day lamented that his Minnesota Fantasy Legislature project never caught on.
