An interesting experiment

When you take a famous musician and have him busk in a busy subway station, what happens?

Fascinating article. I'd love to see the experiment repeated. Preferably in Boston, in a train station I'm going through!

Interesting! You wonder, though, if the results would've been different in the evening or on a weekend. I used to listen to a busker or two when hubby and I would go into Boston on weekends when I lived in Burlington - and I think you're more likely to stop and listen if you're not focused on needing to get into work.

I think the results would have been different at the evening commute as well. The professional buskers almost never try it during morning rush hour.
