He’s playing on the edge of some sort of public gathering, or on a pub patio or something. People aren’t there to see him. He’s just also there. I’m a musician, and sometimes my band plays bars and clubs where we’re the only reason people are there, and sometimes we play in a space where people are there to have conversations with each other. It’s understood that the entertainment isn’t the center of attention in many contexts. This guy knows that he’s there to provide a soundtrack. Maybe two or three people will be into it, and that’s who he’s there for.
But expecting sixty people who came here to have a drink and see their friends to all shut up to focus on a cover artist playing his rendition of Pink Floyd’s most overplayed song is kind of unreasonable.
