Concrete Beat

New York City isn't a place that I normally look forward to going, but every once in a while can't help but wonder about. Wonder what it would be like to live in the capital of the modern world. Before I take that step, something that I will most likely avoid until I am financially stable and by that I mean very rich. It's really the only way to live in a city so dense, everyone else is essentially there to suit the needs of the wealthy. Why live like a peasant and cram yourself into a small apartment with no view and luke warm hot water for one third of your paycheck from a job of servitude.
This is why... www.ConcreteBeat.blogspot.com
This guy goes out and finds street performers all over the city that make money and perform thier art on the streets of Manhattan. Check the blog posts and listen/look at a few performances there is some serious talent in those interviews. That is the reason to go to New York, the hungry. NYC is filled with hungry, intelligent, sly, stylish people who flock from every cave across America with their dreams and some courage. Sinatra said it best "If I can make it there...I'm gonna make in anywhere." and only a person with true guts will take that chance. It is this element that makes New York what it is, the fire of these people that create the pace and majesty of New York City. This single blog alone has convinced me to change my ideas about living in New York and consider that living in a city with a creative, competitive, raw art scene breathing hard underneath the surface can heat you up even if you are stuck living in a shitty little apartment.
