A rose by any other name would smell as sweet and any other person on the metro would smell better than a musically inclined hobo. Does it take an unemployment and homelessness to drive modern mankind into listening to musical masterpieces? The sad result, is yes, yes indeed. Joshua Bell was use to earning $1,ooo a minute for his music and was brought down to around $0.50 a minute when he played in the New York Subway. Some observers view this just as an effect of the context of Bell and his violin, and the station. It is not as if he is presenting for a well known Opera House on a Friday night...it is simply another grungy morning on the metro? Is taste and class lost among the future generations of mankind? Quite possibly.
Despite people honoring Bell at his shows, the public was at it's truest barren state when they we getting off the trains in lee for work, family and friends. The music would only impede there way if they found it irritating. Minors are no longer for music, for the minor, rather miner amount of people actually listening to the words behind the sounds of the violin chords.
