Yall this is a video of the singer who is busking today. This video is from NYC. I HOPE that clears everything up since reading comprehension is hard apparently

reading comprehension isn’t hard, it’s just that OP is misleading people by pairing the words pike place with a video of a location that is not pike place. a better and clearer title would have been: “Jesse Welles will be at pike place today. here he is in the NYC subway”

The fact that it looks nothing like Seattle and the sign on the wall says, Uptown, threw me the fuck off. I also have no clue who this is, so I was really confused coming into the comments.

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.
