Social Experiment - Violinist

[Moonstone2.0]

I find this pointless...all it means is that we dont have time for people people busking and that people dont know much about classical music...regardless of how good they are. I saw a street drummer in newyork who was probably better that the ones in the top bands but just because he wasnt in the music industry being great...no one cared. If that had been the drummer from iron maiden in new york there would have been a stampede. Cause i'm sorry but who is Joshua Bell? Never heard of him, and if he was playing in Glasgow I wouldn't stop either because I dont go out to the shops to listen to music.

For example, do the same experiment with say Adele. If she were to stand in london and do a set on the street, the press would be on her live a hive of bees and crowds would come running in. If she had a hat in front of her for tips. I bet no one would give her a penny. Cause it would be seen as a free concert.

I dont know where I'm going with this..but im not surprised at the above.
