Three panel comic. Panel 1: a man is walking down a wooded riverbank when he passes a mysterious person in a hooded tunic. The mysterious person is holding a lute-like string instrument and is sitting on a tree stump in front of the instrument’s open case in the ground, like a street busker. The mysterious busker calls to the passerby, “traveler… let me play you a song from another time…” Panel 2: in a psychedelic display, the busker reveals to the man all the beautiful and horrible truths of the universe through a mystical song. The traveler seems overcome with a feeling of awe. Panel 3: the man tosses a dollar into the open instrument case. The busker says, “one dollar? Seriously?” The man, returning his wallet to his pocket, says, “dude— I’m not giving you my twenty.”

Saxophone playing busker attracts a small crowd including a small boy with a toy saxophone who imitates the busker. People watching both the child and the busker.

Had an extremely “everyone on the bus clapped” moment in NYC. A busker was playing “every little thing is gonna be alright” and everyone on the platform started singing along. It was really surreal but also great.

If I stop and listen to a busker/public performer I give them money. If I don't have cash I will not stop and listen to a busker

So a transient busker can travel to our country from America, cause controversies everywhere he goes, then waste everyone’s time and money bringing Trump-style lawsuits against everyone who points out that this transient busker is causing controversies everywhere he goes?
