Theres a flow to society, some people like to fall outside this flow and break social norms but to be honest i really like to just blend in.
This is why i find that people dont give money to people playing instruments in the metro and on the street. In Square Victoria metro ive seen more than a few really talented singers and musicians playing for money. I just find that when your walking with 100 people down a corridor nobody can really stop to search their bag or pocket for change. Im either going into work or trying not to miss the metro, you cant stop.
I also feel like everyone would stare, and think a variety of things from shes nice to shes crazy, I guess she likes the music or shes got tons of money, or how could she like that?
Today I gave a guy 50 cents for playing a giant chello, he wasnt one of the best and he definitely didnt say thank you in words. I may have seen it in a nod or the eyes but I was too concentrated on my leap outside the marching line to work to register the moment.
I like the most of them though, except a woman yesterday, I had to bite my lip to not laugh because she was singing terribly about leaving work at 5 oclock. I did enjoy the hand drummer at 830am he was pretty upbeat but really made me feel like I was in a herd of wild animals.
I can only imagine what its like to be them putting themselves out there. Today I saw a guy just sittin there holding out his hat and I thought, atleast sing, do something! but then I thought, would I give thim money then? and I still wouldnt have. A) because most people suck, B) I just dont like doing it purely for the action.
