BUSKERS

porkmarras · 08.02.2006, 10:41 AM

Are these human beings necessary or the cause for all that is evil in the world?

Savage Clone · 08.02.2006, 10:43 AM

I do know that Dave Brock from Hawkwind went from busking to doing some of the most rockin'est rock action ever.

...and then followed that up with many years of pure Cheez Whiz.

Still, it does prove that some good things come of it sometimes.
Just not very often.

EVIL!!!

sonicl · 08.02.2006, 10:58 AM

Seeing as you've got me started...

The guy below busks around Windsor and Staines, and is the most irritating man in the world. I can't explain why, you have to see him in action to understand.

porkmarras · 08.02.2006, 11:00 AM

And he's jumping too.That's fucking hurtful and vile.

porkmarras · 08.02.2006, 11:01 AM

And a motherfucking barefoot kid dancing near him too!

sonicl · 08.02.2006, 11:01 AM

You see, he's got you annoyed and you've never even seen him live!

screamingskull · 08.02.2006, 11:01 AM

i just ignore them mostly, unless they are good then i will give them a few 10p's or something.

Is "busker" one of them funny words you England people use?

Savage Clone · 08.02.2006, 11:09 AM

"Busker" is a term we use on this side of the Atlantic as well.
You are merely uncultured.
Rube.

Danny Himself · 08.02.2006, 11:10 AM

Yeah. I think by now you can work out what it means, though.

gmku · 08.02.2006, 11:10 AM

I'm just not hep to the language of the youth movement, maybe.

In my day, we called em street musicians. I think I like buskers better, though. You crazy Brits/kids!

Savage Clone · 08.02.2006, 11:12 AM

You can call them street musicians if you care nothing about efficiency in language.

Wait, you work at a university....that answers that.

gmku · 08.02.2006, 11:14 AM

Oooh, that's hitting below the belt, mister....

Anyway, give me some slack... I voted for setting fire.

Yeeeah, low blow, Savage.

porkmarras · 08.02.2006, 11:16 AM

There are some good ones though.Here's an example of a magnificient dead busker:

He'd get more than a quid if he was playing on the street.He'd get my attention.

Savage Clone · 08.02.2006, 11:17 AM

Moondog didn't have to busk forever though.
Plus he gets full credit for looking like that in the 1950s and playing weirdo modern composition music on the streets.
While blind!

It can yield good results, just rarely.
You know, like prog rock.

gmku · 08.02.2006, 11:17 AM

Oh, it's Moondog. Cool.

porkmarras · 08.02.2006, 11:19 AM

The street was too small for his gorgeous music.
