The Man that Inspired Jamie Foxx in “The Soloist”
Who knew that the liberal bastion of compassion, San Francisco, California, would be hiding all of its musical talent in a homeless man sitting among the garbage at Fisherman’s wharf?
He’ll play for a dollar. He’ll stop playing for fifty.
Is it his music or his rotting teeth that attracts those seagulls?
Can’t see his sign, but it says “will butcher Bach for crack.”
Think his playing is awesome? You should hear him sing!
The World Cup should replace vuvuzelas with this.
Those garbage bags are filled with sheet music.
He wore the black off the fingerboard. You’d think he’d be better after all that practice.
Is he more talented at homelessness or with music?
Thanks to Jim Norton for the video!
Last year I wrote about Florence Foster Jenkins, a woman who sang so badly that people paid money to listen to her, see Florence Foster Jenkins and the Religion of Peace
Nice post, Bernie. Gads, I could only get thru 20 seconds of that youtube video before I hit stop. Her voice and this violinist could be a WMD.
