There was a mariachi band playing on the subway today. They were standing up and balancing precariously as the car screeched to a halt and then zoomed forward. There was no place to donate money or anything, they were either doing it for the love or because someone in New York City council had decided to pay them. I enjoyed the music. Many people in the car just rolled their eyes with their ear buds securely lodged. I thought the scene said something interesting about the meeting of the past and the technological future, or something like that. It certainly said something about the cultural craziness of NYC.

I like live music, good times… I guess if you life there long enough you might just not notice stuff like that… There was a famous violinist that took part in a experiment, he played in a NYC subway a few days before playing a sold out venue for $100+. He played for 15 minutes while hidden cameras recorded the action, he got 7 bucks in tips and one person stopped to hear him play, besides that world famous musician was completely ignored.
Yippie for cultural overload…
