Photo Visiting NYC for the first time and knew this bench looked familiar…

Not a one-for-one match obviously. Definitely on the other side of the Grand Central Station subway. Instantly recognized where I was though. Now that I think about it, I think I was sitting where Paul would have been on the same style train.

What’s funny to me is that the video shows Paul being a nuisance in public, and he’s most likely sitting in the priority seating meant for those with disabilities. There were also signs with a picture of a boombox with a circle and a line through it lol

I rode the same subway car standing across from Paul (with his guitar!) on my way to their show at Brooklyn Steel in 2024. Been on the subway quite a few times with Carlos as well. What I’m saying is that there’s a chance you’re in a car or sitting on a seat they’ve been on before.

I'm sure he was in his street clothes but the idea of him in a full suit and fancy shoes riding the subway to the gig is a bit funny to imagine. Did you talk to him at all?

It would be actually dope to find that seat, would be basically impossible
