THE VIGIL (PART TWO)

So, today I was keen to see if the playlist protester was still camped outside the Nations Favourite.  Seeing as he had threatened not to leave until he gets play listed, I was thinking it pretty likely. Then, sure enough, sometime in the afternoon he rocked up – without the two girls – and with a brand new and MASSIVE cardboard placard.  The sign says I’M NOT LEAVING UNTIL OCTOBER WHEN UNI STARTS.  It is an improvement on yesterday’s – it’s big and multicoloured and it even mentions his artist name.  I cross the street to ask him whether I can take another picture, and whether he has any promotional CDs with him to give to anyone wanting to play his record on the radio.  He doesn’t.
