Pearls before Breakfast

After reading Pearls before Breakfast, I really had to ponder if I would have stopped myself to listen to Joshua Bell. After some thought i feel I would of only because my mother played a lot of classical music and I was in a very musical house so I think i would of stopped to see this brilliant man at work. After thinking about that, I wondered how so many people could go by without even acknowledging such great music. Easily someone could tell that this was quality music so not even turning to look at Joshua? I was in shock that this really happened. Are people really that busy and in a rush to not stop for at least one minute to watch this man at work and give him something?(even though he really doesn't need it.) I ask this, do you think that you would of stopped to listen to him or just been another passer by? Something to ponder over.
