Article on Joshua Bell. He played for 20 minutes or so in a DC metro rail station (as an experiment).
Very vew people stopped to listen.

Hey Scott:
Let me second your suggestion. An amazing story, extremely well written. I have long been a fan of the movie and the Bell tie in makes the movie and this story all the more fascinating. Kudos to the author for one of the best written pieces I have read in years.

The author thought up the "experiment" and Bell agreed.
The author of the article won a pulitzer.
Bell is obviously a very good sport. He thinks without an agent, etc, taking a cut of his income, he could make an adequate living as a busker.
Awesome !!! Thank you for the post.
shareJenna Jameson could put on a live sex show, complete with a hot oil pit, a lesbian acrobat, 2 monks, and a donkey, in that same DC metro rail station at that same time (rush hour) and everyone would still just hurriedly pass by.
You know why? Because they have to get to work. (duh.)
