No problem with jumping in. This article has provoked some interesting discussion this morning at CalArts.

I agree with those who suggest, here and in the article, that the problem might well be context. People hurrying off to work (especially in Washington) are most often lost in their own private worlds.

I must point out, however, that the many fabulous street musicians that I used to hear in various tube stops in London back in the 90's never failed to attract attention -- even a crowd -- and I doubt that Londoners are any less focused upon themselves then Washingtonians are. Maybe their business vs. cultural mindset simply didn't preclude taking 2 minutes off to listen to something unexpected and beautiful? I'm glad that Josh touched at least 6 people. Perhaps they will tell their friends?

Best,
