I like Buskers

I'm not a fan of beggars, but I do like genuine buskers with skill, talent or just a good, entertaining idea. In Melbourne, (Australia) yesterday afternoon, we came found two genuinely interesting buskers playing in Bourke Street mall around 13:30. I gave some money to both and I've made a couple of 1 minute videos. Cities would be far more boring and less human without people like this.

    Amen to that! Unfortunately more and more cities are restricting buskers. How stupid of the municipalities - buskers bring life to the street, which in turn attracts tourists, which in turn is good for restaurants and businesses. buskers are essential.
    This is my favorite busker in NYC:
