Hm. That's interesting. Performers are getting savvy to the commercial value of their image, it seems.
There's a local busker here, a traveling performer who is a genius at playing the spoons. Yes the spoons, and yes, genius. She looks like a hobo, plays in the street for money, and just the other day I discovered she has a LinkedIn page.
Everybody's a commodity, everybody's gotta work it however they can.
