A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that 1,100 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. Three minutes went by, and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace, and stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet his schedule. A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping, and continued to walk. A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work. The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tugged him along, hurried, but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on. In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money, but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition. No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most talented musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, on a violin worth $3.5 million dollars. Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in Boston where the seats averaged $100. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste, and priorities of people. This is a real story, I'm not a troll.
Суть в том, что люди, которые игнорили жидка со скрипкой в метро, вероятно, не заплатили бы и сто долларов за его дохуя престижный концерт.
>>1391913Правильно, ведь там были сплошь говнарики, слушающие Britney Spears, AC/DC, Lil Wayne, DJ Tiesto, Rolling Stones, Backstreet Boys ну и так далее, и тому подобное.

>>1391928На кого ты похож кусок обрыгана? Зашел на музач сотрясая лысиной, облил яжкой дверь, которая стоит больше чем вся твоя жалкая жизнь и еще поучаешь господ. Я предлагаю тебе немедленно покинуть это вычурно-элитарное место, полное шорохов фраков и стука ботинок из змеиной кожи и уйти в /b/. Там ты сможешь валяться под забором в собственной блевотине.
