Martians have been observing earth for years, especially this spot where I play. After sending me a few PayPal tips, they told me that human apathy levels to live music and buskers was so high, that Earth was a threat to the entire music eco system of the galaxy, and complete obliteration of humans was their only option. They sent a family to begin terraforming the planet, starting at ground zero, my busking location. They got in one last dance before starting work. I will be spared and taken back to Mars where I will receive my own concert venue filled with Martian groupies. They really like the alien design of my Parker guitar.
I'm glad everyone is enjoying this video but I want to make a few things clear.
1) Street playing is not all fun and games. Doing this for 7 years. I regularly face not only verbal abuse, but physical assault as I work a few blocks from downtown eastside Vancouver. I'm surrounded by addicts, drunks, and people who should be in mental homes.
2) I'm unemployed.
3) All live music and busking is banned. I lost all work last year and received ZERO compensation. I had a very bad year in 2020 and only recently came out of a depression.
4) I make ZERO from youtube no matter how many views I get. I don't run ads. I hate seeing them on other channels and will not run them on mine. Half my videos are already auto-monetized by record companies and they make the money. If you liked the video and it made your day, please think about supporting me on patreon/paypal tip/bandcamp.
5) I'm a musician that writes his own music for 20 years. Check out my bandcamp page to see what I can really do with a guitar.
6) It's a lot of unpaid work to post these videos all the time so please try to help me keep the channel going. Many thanks to those that have supported me! It means a lot!
Normally, the bus line is depressing to watch, because everyone stares down the street and ignores the music. Occasionally, on a nice summer day, with the right attitude and upbringing, the bus line actually awakens. Here's an entire family getting exercise during uptown funk. I applaud these parents.
