Johnny Cash where are you?

Pennsylvania Station, New York serves approximately 600,000 people each day, me being of of them. Every morning & evening through the hustle & bustle of rush hour I'm one of the those crazy people running by, weaving through the crowds rushing to my train. Despite all the craziness of Penn Station, it is one of my favorite stations in NY because of all the awesome performers there that perform daily. I wonder, do you need to go talk to someone to secure a time slot to perform there? Or do you just kinda set up shop? Out of all the performers there my favorite by far is the guy that plays the guitar & sings Johnny Cash songs. He does a really great job singing/playing the songs. When he's there performing I actually stop & listen. But I don't think I've seen him around for months. Johnny Cash where have you gone? I need my dose of "Ring of Fire" when hustling through Penn Station. Does anyone know this person's name? I wasn't even able to find a you tube video of him singing. But I did find the creepy old man & his muppets.



Am I the only one that thinks this guy is creepy?

Train Talk: WTH Are you going???!

I was on the train yesterday and and young mother with her child boarded the train at the same time I did. The kid was about 8 years old? When they got on the train the mother (while holding the kid's hand) proceeded to walk down the aisle. I'm only guessing she was trying to find a seat for them towards the middle of the car. All of the sudden the kid exclaims, "Mom, Where the hell are you going?!" And I swear I heard everyone in the train just gasp at what the kid was saying to his mother. And she just replied with, "We should sit towards the middle sweetheart." My jaw almost dropped. OMG if that were my kid I would have gave it a swift smack over the head. Pfft... Where the hell am I going?! I know where you're going, you about to get a swift ass whoopin that's what. I couldn't believe this woman was letting her kid talk to her this way. I think people that don't discipline their children are rasing the future delinquents of the world. Just as you would curb your dogs when taking them for a walk. You should keep your kids in check. Just my 2 cents.

Train Talk: Death & Inflation

While riding the train this morning on my way to work I overheard two women talking about inflation and how the prices of everything is so high these days. And with that I totally agree. I wouldn't be surprised if gas prices in New York City will be hitting that $4 a gallon mark this summer! Woman #1 continued on saying how high food prices are getting these days, and how her hairstylists, manicure, pedicure, and spa prices are increasing also. Woman #2 chimed in with total agreement saying her Starbucks coffee is getting expensive as well. Oh, and here's the kicker Woman #1 says in response, "Oh God, tell me about it who cares about terrorists blowing up the country if I can't even afford food these days. I'd die of starvation anyways!" I couldn't believe what I was hearing! WTF?!!~ I'm mean really... WTF?!!~ I'm thinking first off, you're riding on the damn' LIRR which isn't all that cheap of a ride so I know you aren't that poor. Secondly, you have the nerve complaining about your increased costs in spa treatments, which is a luxury anyhow! And lastly, I can't believe you're bitching about how much your damn latte-crapo-chino is costing and talking about starving to death. Heifer, I don't see you eating dried mud cookies like the poor people in Haiti so you have no place at all talking about your fat ass starving 'cos of rising crapo-chino prices!~
