I couldnât really see what was going on, but I have an irresistible desire to âclick hereâ and see another video.

Or, âHow to practice safe saxâ
Yeah, I need to work on actually reading the headlines instead of just scanning them. The video was disappointing⌠to say the least.
⌠and then Moon Hooch shows up and DESTROYS THEM.
All that would have to happen is for Apple and Google to modify their video capture code to chop off the top and bottom segmentss of the vertical videoâs image data and record it in landscape mode.
Iâm of awkwardly mixed opinions about this.
I doubt I could really have resisted the temptation myself, were I appropriately trained and armed.
On the other hand, the addtional player has just scragged the guyâs panhandling shtick. And has make it even more clear that the guyâs an amateur. Violates one of the first rules of jamming, that being to support the leading performer by playing under/behind them rather than hogging the spotlight, at least until invited to step forward and take a more leading part.
On the other other hand, I donât much like the captive-audience approach to panhandling (or preaching, which I got hit with a week or two ago). If you arenât good enough to draw an audience to you, donât get up in their faces when they canât walk away. So Iâm not sure a bit of rudeness wasnât justified.
On the other other other hand, Iâd MUCH rather have someone attempting to perform than delivering a sad-sack story. At least the guyâs trying to deliver some value.
And every now and then you run across someone who really isnât looking for a handout and just thought itâd be cool to give folks a bit of a performance, Improv Everywhere style. Though doing that in a situation where the disinterested canât easily tune you out or walk away is a bit rude. Leave people room to not be part of the happening, if they donât want to be.
Like I say, mixed feelings⌠especially since this short video doesnât give us the whole story.
Cory, nobody calls the NYC subway âthe MTA,â unless theyâre referring to the agency itself. Itâs âthe subwayâ or âthe [route letter/number.]â (Or if you want to sound like youâre about a hundred years old, âthe [IRT/BMT/IND.]â)
Further, âMTAâ invites confusion with the Massachusetts version, which renamed itself MBTA (Mass. Bay Transit Authority) after the campaign song âCharlie on the MTAâ became a popular hit. Though these days the MBTA is more commonly referred to as âThe Tâ.
Double plus Saxy goodness! I would have thrown huge sums of cash-money goodness in their horn cases had I been present for the battle of the Saxes. (Billy Jean and Bobby Riggs got nothinâ on this)
I disagree, I reckon if the first guy was playing to get dough, his take just went Way up! That carriage would have paid up, and then he could have moved to the next carriage, probably quicker than he first planned.
I like how the plastic bags from Record Mart (inside Times Square station) specify that itâs near the âIRT platform.â
But back to your point, even better would be âIâm taking the MTA to Avenue of the Americas.â
Two strangers just cut loose and jam a little good-natured competition on a subway - Just one of those little things that make life worth living.
saw Moon Hooch on tour this last summer in the midwest. They were awesome and and played a hour long set. I figured it would get tiresome after a few tunes but they rocked it. No singer at all either, just the 3-piece.

Bill Cosby had a point (and he said it in 1964)âŚ
Yes, I agree. The headline should have said duet not battle.
