Pearls Before Breakfast

I chose Pearls Before Breakfast because I can relate to this post. Working in Boston over the summer and having to take the subway home I have seen many people playing in the area where people are waiting to catch the train. In this article the talented Joshua Bell disguised himself and began playing a very difficult piece of music in the subway. Only a few people stopped to listen and only one person recognized him. I have seen many a times people playing their hearts out in the subway only to collect a few dollars and very few words of praise. Only once did I get the chance to witness the entire platform bust into applause for one musician. But most of the time people walk by without stopping to listen and enjoy what these people are doing. I have realized because of this article that the world is busy to enjoy the simple things such as a street musician, which is sad, because entertainment is everywhere whether the person is famous or not.
