We all know that if Eric Clapton showed up in Penn Station with a guitar, amp and microphone, there would be an instant crowd. Heck, if Madonna lip-synced any one of her dumb songs, the masses stop and wait for the next train.
However, what if we took a Joshua Bell, consider one of the greatest violin players of our time, sells out concert halls everywhere where people pay $100 and up to hear his genius, and placed in your train station?
Well, that's exactly what he did at the L'ENFANT PLAZA STATION in Washington D.C. And sadly, commuters hardly broke stride as he'd played masterfully. Very interesting experiment with an unfortunate outcome for both Joshua and our ears.
This isn't a new story, but in case you missed as I did, here's the full Washington Post article and the video can be seen below.
