He’s the only reason I started carrying my camera to work every day, and of course I haven’t seen him since. Great voice, nice guy.

I don’t hate buskers in general — only the annoying or boring ones, which, for me, is maybe 80% if you include the out-and-out panhandlers (like, you know, the guy who knows one verse and the chorus of “Lean On Me” and sings them in an a cappella loop), and the crazy people (like the fiddler who only has one string and randomly saws away at it for a minute, then stops and looks up to see if anyone is listening).

Really? You don’t hate ANY buskers? Love ‘em all?

He should be recording and releasing. I really enjoy hearing him play unfortunately I leave earlier then he arrives most Fridays. I also like him because he reached out and asked about my well being one day when I was not doing too well.

There are many Mexican guitar players that I admire too. Some have serious chops and it makes wonder why they are in BART instead of on-stage

I love the buskers. Accordion playing dog owning guy was doing Radiohead this morning at Civic Center. A few days ago there was a black guy playing working class hero.

“Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
And you think you’re so clever and classless and free,
But you’re still fucking peasants as far as I can see,”

I say piss off to busker haters. A working class hero is something to be. I’m hoping the day will come when they get on the trains and play as they do in Paris.

Amazing!

At Union Square, these days, there’s the almost-good trumpet player who ought to be out there looking for a real job. OK, sometimes I’ll get an ultra-sincere folkie playing Neil Young covers.

They all make me want to slash my wrists, and provide the ONLY measure of sympathy I have ever felt for BART station agents when they threaten to go on strike. If I had to listen to all that crap at work every day, I would have gone postal in the first year.

Used to be only Johnny Cash, but last time I saw him he’d slipped in a little Merle Haggard. Given all the punk patches on his jacket I always wanted to ask him to sing “Gimme Gimme Gimme” in a Johnny Cash style but was to busy/chicken to ask.
