I know this is kinda off topic....and NOT making fun of any homeless person by any means. Since going to MSG back in 98 there is a bum in a wheelchair he has a very high pitch voice when he asks for money. MY girlfriend see's him everyday since she commutes to the city. I just find it funny since 98 after every PJ show I see this guy. With same high pitch voice "can you help me out please" and yes everytime i see him I give him some loose change. Anyway just wondering if anyone else see this guy.

    There was a guy before the show on Friday with a sign that said "I need money for weed".

    All I wanted was a picture of the guy but he wanted a dollar that I wouldn't give to him. I didn't get the picture.

    Then after the show, we missed our train and while hanging outside MSG, a guy just starts pissing right up the stairs at about 1AM. Weird city.
    When this just feels like spinning plates.

    since we're on the topic of bum signs, my favorite was a guy in buffalo who always stood on niagara st at the 190 exit with a sign that read - "why lie, need beer"

    sad, but amusing, either he's dead, moved to a new spot or cleaned up

    Best bum sign I've seen: 'I need some change I can believe in'

    Eh, I'm on my travels. If your city/state/country doesn't deal with these social welfare problems, not my problem.

    This is not an anti-America slag, Australia, UK etc are just as guilty...

    A country can be judged by how it treats its weakest citizens.

    Call me a socialist but I'd much rather see my taxes going to homeless shelters, mental heath projects, drug programs, health systems and education before the military and tax cuts for the wealthy. I don't care how a person came to be living on the streets, but it would make us all far wealthier if they were helped and given dignity.

    And for the record, I did give to the 'feed the homeless' collectors in Times Square everyday I was in NYC and I encouraged my kids to do the same.
