I can understand that the powers-that-be would be cautious to intervene regarding most of his behaviour, but the screams in my opinion cross the line. They are so loud and blood curdling that they are a distraction to the music and, especially if nearby and unanticipated, they are startling and even a bit scary.

Maybe everybody but me thinks it's cute. Again, part of me has sympathy for the gentleman. His dancing alone would likely be just another curiosity at the square. But I simply don't think the extreme part of his antics...the screaming...should be tolerated.

Okay. I've vented.
He’s here taking care of his mother who fell and broke either one or both hips. He is exuberant with the music on the square, but who ain’t depending on the band. Nice guy. Anyway I’ve seen a lot wackier at SS some evenings! When he leaves the square he goes home to take his mom for an evening therapy walk. Security knows all about him. And you know the saying, “Everyone’s weird, except you and me, and I’m not so sure about you!”
