Man refuses offer to reduce fine in exchange for tuning into classical music
URBANA, Ohio - A defendant had a hard time facing the music.
Andrew Vactor was facing a $150 fine for playing rap music too loudly on his car stereo in July. But a judge offered to reduce that to $35 if Vactor spent 20 hours listening to classical music by the likes of Bach, Beethoven and Chopin.
Vactor, 24, lasted only about 15 minutes, a probation officer said.

You can lead a man to a 2004 San Patrignano Colli di Rimini Cabernet Montepirolo, but you can’t make him put down that Thunderbird.

It wasn’t the music, Vactor said, he just needed to be at practice with the rest of the Urbana University basketball team.
“I didn’t have the time to deal with that,” he said. “I just decided to pay the fine.”
To: Red Badger
Id a sentenced him to an hour or two of Barry Manilow........... A Judge can't do that. It would be a violation of the Eighth Amendment.

He couldn’t go for baroque.

I wonder how the judge would know whether or not he listened to the classical music. It sound likes he had to sit with a probation officer at the court while listening to it, so maybe he just couldn’t afford to spend 20 hours at the court building.
To: jakerobins
Rap or classical. Who says you can't have both?

Kenny G and Michael Bolton were going to team up and call the group Guns-N-Noses.

I wouldnt last 5 minutes listening to Pat Boone, may he rest in peace. Unfortunately he is still with us (according to Wikipedia).
To: jakerobins
I would sentence him to a week of listening to “One Tin Soldier” (Theme from Billy Jack) by Coven.
