I'm serious. Please. Read the article.

I read your quote. I simply didn't take the sociological take that the author did: I only meant that, IN THIS INSTANCE, it could explain the lack of interest in his performance.

| It's not like master violinists are playing in subway stations on a daily basis afterall... |
YES!!
And a "Master violinst" Who the Eff CARES how popular the guy is. Brian Adams busked on a vancouver street to raise money for breast cancer (I think it was) sometime in the 90s and people were HOUNDING him.
Are we supposed to believe that just because he's a famous VIOLINIST that everybody will KNOW who he is and stop and listen?
Yes it's pretty...really nice. I know I'd stop if I weren't listening to my ipod. But my relationship with music is different from a lot of folks |

Does it involve strange creams and the concept of the "safe word"? |

Because she plays a saw or because you don't agree with her assessment? |

I haven't read the article but subways are for people going places. That's the context.
Here's an analogy:
I like burgers. I don't want to eat burgers everyday on holiday in Asia. Do I disrespect burgers? No. There's a time and place for everything.
Hell, if Prince showed up in my bed on a Sunday morning lie in I'd probably push him aside. Do I think Prince is anything less than Gods gift to mankind? No. But, again, there's a time and a place for everything. |
"Do I think Prince is anything less than Gods gift to mankind?
you should be shot. |
