As many of you know, Break of Reality is part of Music Under New York, a program that books artists to perform throughout the NYC subway. Although we are permitted members of this organization, we are still occasionally asked by the NYPD to leave for some reason or another, most often because of the large crowds that form to listen to our music.
So, it was not surprising tonight that three police officers approached our group while we were performing for a large crowd at the Times Square terminal. The usual tap on my shoulder came right after the last note of "Blind Purpose". I let out a dissapointed sigh as I turned around to face the officer. She asked me if we had a permit, I said yes. Then she asked me if we took requests. I was confused, but answered yes, again. "Can you play 'Sore Arms'?" she asked with a smile. Turns out she was a fan of the group! I was speechless, but Chris overheard her and started the song's opening riff.
