The other problem is: Most people (myself included) wouldn't know the difference between the best violinist in the world and someone moderately good, except that you can pay a lot of money to see the best violinist in the world in a concert hall. Maybe another moral to this story is you don't need to shell out a bunch of money to see an excellent musician if you can get the same satisfaction from listening to a decent one.

Have you ever heard someone play violin in person? A bad player is noticeably and distinctly a bad violinist. A talented violinist stirs something in you and I can only imagine what a master sounds like in person.

Oh a bad player is horrible. But the difference between good and great? I could probably only tell if they were playing side by side. I'm a philistine though.

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

People got shit to do.

"A man was playing the piano in the middle of the interstate in the middle of rush hour when magically no traffic has backed up for the moment. He is the best. Its the best. No one stops in the middle of the interstate and no one throws anything but a "fuck you, get out the way prick!" In his hat."

Theres a time and a place and people with jobs dont have time to fuck around everytime theres some attention seeking begging faggot

If you have ever heard a well played violin and you do not stop for it you are dead inside.

Dude made $32 in a fucking hour. I'd say that's pretty damn successful. Sure, it's not selling out a theater with $100 tickets successful, but he still did pretty damn well. If anything, this just shows how divorced from reality the Washington Post and the musician are.
