This guy enlivened my trip home on the 2/3 train last night. I don’t know if it was the bubbles, or the “help me pay for my nursing degree at ECC Newark” plea, or that it was late and I was weak, but I actually enjoyed the performance and gave him money. Very little of course, but I never give money to subway performers. He is charismatic and clever (song choice, schooling plea, time of performance, etc), and I wish him good luck.
