Warbreaker + Busking

 

New Warbreaker Chapter: Chapter Fifty-Five

Explanation for Warbreaker is in this thread.

Also, a very interesting article was posted over at the Washington Post last week.  Essentially, the reporter took a famous violinist, stuck him in a subway station and had him play incognito.  Then, they filmed what happened--trying to see how many people stopped, interviewing some of those who passed by, that sort of thing.  The question was this: Would average passers recognize genius if they encountered it in an unexpected place.

It's a very good article, with some interesting thoughts about the nature of art.  Note that at least one Busker has a response up to the article, and while they make at least one good observation, in general I think they missed the vision of the article.
