Technorati Buzz TV - Joshua Bell, Violin Virtuoso, DC Subway
Loading...
Uploaded by technorati on Apr 10, 2007
Today we're talkin about Joshua Bell, the well-known classical violinist who held an impromptu performance in a DC subway station. The whole thing was arranged by The Washington Post as an "experiment," to see whether busy people would stop and listen. I've got the results and the reactions, and you're not in a subway station so you better watch.

Flawed by the fact that the Washington Post presumes this is what our culture holds as high art or "beautiful." I think the experiment should be redone with someone more in touch with American cultural tastes, like Snoop Dog. Then we shall measure the difference.

Part 1
If I may coment. I am a violinist myself, I studied violin at university etc...
I played in the metro in morning to get by while in in school and I played the same Bach pieces Mr Bell played in the metro. By the way I maid more money then him but that's besides the point cause I live in Montreal, not DC.
Before getting all shocked and discoraged about american society, let's put things into perspective:

@robson0172 let me quote you....The world we live in is absolutely horrible. People have completely lost the idea that there's more to life than to run around like filthy rats chasing money and power. It is a disgrace. Very few humans still live for beautiful things. Most are worthless products of this nonsense consuming society. Running after nothing worth it. very good experiment. Very stupid idiots , chasing the nonsense. Hey Joshua , you are an amazing human being.
