Default Guy on Subway

I remember a thread here a while back (with You Tube links) about this guy on the subway preaching. He's a white guy with short hair in the front and a really long pony tail in the back.

Anyway, I saw him on 14th Street yesterday across from Union Square in front of Forever 21. He was still preaching. LOL!!

Does anyone remember the thread or have a link to the You Tube videos?

I have seen so many subway preachers that I don't keep track. Nor do I look for more on Youtube. Sorry.

No, this guy isn't a typical "subway preacher". He's actually kind of funny.

To the previous poster: I didn't have a "point". I posted a "request".

People pushing their religious beliefs on those trapped in subways are rude psychotics. In a sane world they should all be hauled off to Bellvue (or Bedlam.)

Agreed. it's hard to relax facing a busy day in the morning with someone yelling out their whole creed. Though it is a double-edged sword, Cause I am thankful to live in a country where free speech is not suppressed.

Usually I have headphones, So I just concentrate on the music.

I agree.... I usually can't stand subway preachers but this guy was more funny than anything.

I'm not sure which is worse, though, people with their iPods or whatever blasting their music so the whole car can hear it or the looney preachers or the "disabled/homeless veterans" begging for money.

Some are funny. As I said in a subway thread, I always loved the guy on the Q line with the clarinet and amplifier. He sells CD's with him on Coney island beach with the sunset behind him, And a big smile. Though I never bought the album I always give a buck or too. He's funny, And a good player to boot. What a romantic guy, With his sunsets and music. I imagine him being like "the Continental" Saturday night live skit with Christopher Walken.
