More On The "Suspicious" Harpsichordist

Peter Watchorn, the olive green jacket-wearing harpsichordist at the center of last week's MBTA manhunt, tells me he's still quite upset about the incident, which he describes as "a mixture of Franz Kafka and the Keystone Cops."

"Needless to say, this is all quite a shock to me, but they picked the wrong person to tangle with, since I will not let the matter rest until I have a full and public apology as well as assurances that the MBTA's present and disastrous Orwellian policy will be reviewed. I'm sure that my colleagues in the Arts community, whom I am quite prepared to mobilize, will agree."

I asked the MBTA about its response to his call for an apology. This is what spokesman Joe Pesaturo responded with:

"The "See Something, Say Something" program is an integral component of the T's ongoing efforts to provide customers with a safe and secure transit environment. The T continues to encourage customers to report any behavior or activities they deem to be suspicious or unusual."
