Dear Non-Homeless Buskers

I know you want to earn money for playing your instrument, but if you have access to a shower, you need to get off the street. If your parents bought you that guitar, you need to get off the street. If you can afford huge ugly sunglasses and bottled water, you need to get off the street. If you have a shaved head, you need to get off the street. If your girlfriend is sitting by you, bored out of her skull, you need to get off the street. If all you know how to play is “Wonderwall” and a sloppy, looping rendition of the beginning of “Stairway to Heaven,” you need to get off the street. If you are actually having a jam session outside with one or more of your equally talentless friends with an open guitar case in front of you with a few bills in it that you put there so people know that you expect to be paid, you need to get off the street.

I don’t make the rules,
Nicko
