i'm more surprised that someone didn't mug him and take the cash and fiddle.
and, he made $32 bucks for that hour. if i could play i'd be down there doing that. not bad wages.But if I agreed with you, we would both be wrong.

To be fair, I also feel if he had been in a park or outdoor shopping setting he would have had a bigger audience. If I'm trying to catch a train or have to be somewhere I probably would not stop, no matter how bad I wanted to. Sadly.Your safety is not my responsibility.

Now personally I would not pay $100 to see many people in concert but I do imagine that people would stop what they were doing to watch a band like U2 perform. Which again is (IMO) everything to do with what this story is about. It is our perception of an item which determines its value.

Soon as you move the setting to a park, or add a stage or costumes, peoples perception and expectations increase.

:edit: Lol @ Randi.. Apparently great minds think alike eh? It appears however you are a faster typer than me since you posted 30 seconds before me. :P
The washington post article about this is amazing. I actually got season tickets one year to the San Diego symphony orchestra as a bonus once, and I can verify that being in the presence of great artists can move one to tears. I soooo looked forward to those concerts each month. But perhaps that was because i knew I was going to see a professional, was wearing a suit and drinking wine. Did that alter my perception? The one person in the article mentions it being "a humbling experience", I know exactly what he is talking about. You almost feel unworthy to listen, as if it's a private conversation with god and you are eavesdropping on them. So I also understand how he stayed far back as to "give him some space".
It still bugs me to admit I would probably walk by the greatest musician in the world and miss it because I had to catch a train. Or would I be like the very few who heard a world class violinist playing a one of a kind violin, and recognized it for what it was? What a very interesting experiment!!! Been thinking about this all day, LOL.
