To be clear Im a tremendous fan of classical music, but showing up late for a job to listen to it is out of the fucking question, always, for approximately everyone who doesnt want to get fired.
Wow yeah, you seem really torn up about how grownups live their lives.
An op/ed post at http://jezebel.com/ should help put things right in the world.
No, I realized that there wasn't any hope in that department a long time ago, and then moved on. Moved onto the path of those who realize how the shit works and then exploit it.

Anyone that has ever heard a great violinist play in person needs no frame of reference to appreciate the music. There is nothing quite like it as far as sound goes.
If I was told to listen to it and try, I'm sure I'd appreciate it on some level... but for it to reach out and grab me, I'd really have to be more of a fan. My brain just doesn't process music like a lot of other people. From my perspective it is no wonder people walk by didn't pay much attention him. + DC/subway/cold. Honestly I think it says more about classical music ... You almost have to decide to appreciate it. I bet other types of musicians would have had more luck. just need a better act imo. but again, his talent is basically for people who have already decided to be a fan of classical music. It is a distinct class basis to it, ridicule me if you want.
I disagree wholeheartedly, one doesn't need to first decide to appreciate classical music to experience it in full. 99% of the music I listen to is not classical, and I think you are really not understanding just how overwhelming an experience of hearing a proper violin being played by a world class violinist really is in person. It's like ear porn.
I guarantee if he had been playing renditions of hit pop songs, he would have gathered crowds of people, and it would not have been because the music is any more or less beautiful, it would be because of the conditioning they had all experienced by the songs popularity and the pressure to be associated with anything thought cool or successful on a subconscious level. It's the same reason you are thinking another type of musician would have gotten more success, and I know that you would, unfortunately, be right. Even a mediocre guitarist would have almost surely gotten more attention.
If this same thing happened two months ago, and the guy broke out some kinda rendition of Gangnam Style on a stradivari showcasing his abilities as much as he possible could, what do you think would have happened? How many videos of it would have been posted on Youtube?
A child doesn't have to learn what is beautiful:

The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried, but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.

Also, screw being a lawyer, we're heavily invested in vanity and the broken government on the direct profiting from it side.

An example of exploiting the way things work. Would anyone have given a fuck about a few Chinese violinist otherwise?
