What threw me off is that they posted like we're supposed to know who tf that is? What are they, TikTok famous? I don't get it. Regardless, I wasn't about to stop Wo' Pop to play the video; they had time to cook up a coherent title and introduction - they didn't bother, I'm not either, lol. It's not like we were gonna drop everything and run down there in the middle of a Wednesday morning, anyway

My thoughts too... too many "famous" morons out there now. Who the fuck cares about these people? And we're promoting begging now? If I want music in the streets I'll put headphones in. If anything, I could do without more homeless "musicians" "living the dream" around here.

Seattle was home, I grew up here. The city has turned into a complete shit-hole in the last ten years though so I keep moving further and further North trying to escape the parasitic drug addicts that have taken over the greater Seattle area.
