And look like him also.

It was okay with me. This was a fairly unusual occurence. Most of the time the response to a subway platform performer is mixed -- some enjoying, some ignoring, some in and out. But everybody was down with this guy. No dissenters. There was something a little Hendrixy about him also. The fluid guitar playing, I mean.

With apologies to Marie Mille this is as a good an opportunity to post that THE FORTUNE and ISHTAR are airing as part of TCM's "Summer Under the Stars" tribute to Warren Beatty tomorrow (8/9):

(THE FORTUNE is on at 3pm EST, ISHTAR at 4am EST the morning of 8/10.)

And THE OUTFIT closes Robert Ryan day (Friday 8/13) with a showing at 4am EST 8/14.

The fact that he's playing a Bob Marley song helps.

Do these guys actually make a decent amount of money doing this? Or is it just pocket change?

He's pretty good. Jeff, I hope you tossed the guy a buck in there for us :)

excellent, thanks for posting jeff. great pay-off at the end to witness the encounters between the performer and a white guy, and the performer and a black guy.

You obviously don't listen to reggae much, they don't all sound like Bob Marley.
