  1. G10, I hear what you’re saying, and if they’re talented and that’s the way for them to get discovered, more power to them. But must they do it on an overcrowded rush hour train? Isn’t the overcrowded platform sufficient?

  2. Gemini,
    There is no basketball team. More often now, the pitch is : “I ain’t selling candy for a basketball team, I’m trying to make some money for myself, to stay out of trouble” etc..
    I have given them money on occasion (rarely inclined to buy candy), they often seem like OK kids.

  3. Rob:
    actually some of them are legit and just have no means of getting their music out there to the public
    take it from me, I work for a record label and know how hard it is to get a deal
    so i commend those people who really have their music together going out and hustling to people on the street
    you never know, you might give it to me and I will listen and try to get them signed
    what’s wrong with that hustle?

  4. “I wouldn’t wear that out in public, geez.”

    You can do that. I wouldn’t complain. In fact, if all panhandlers were attractive women in provocative attire, I’m sure I’d change my entire perspective regarding this issue.
