Trumpet Fight

I came across this video during my travels on the Internet and thought that some of you may be amused by it. Apparently someone in New York caught this guy berating a guy playing his trumpet on the street. The trumpet player isn't Wynton Marsalis, but geez, tough crowd for sure.

Warning: NSFW language.

I like how he held the briefcase up in a threatening way as if he were going to hit the trumpeter with it but when the trumpeter starts playing again in defiance, he just jumps around like that for a bit and then goes back to yelling at him. It's like, great strategy, tiny briefcase ninja too bad it's no match for Captain Trumpet's lung capacity and tone-deafness

I mean, come on, it's not exactly like you live in NYC for the peace and quiet anyway, give the guy a break.

The only trumpet I heard was "Oh Susanna." The vid should have been named "Soliloquy By a Miniscule Woody Allen."

My favorite part is when he says, "I walked Bob Dylan up on stage! Who the fuck are you?!"

That's pretty much like saying, "I was second string understudy of Man on Street #2 in my middle school's production of Oklahoma! Who the fuck are you?!"

From what I understand, he's co-founder of some sort of art collective that is ironically dedicated to a "more passionate society: http://www.flowerpowercreative.com/

Apparently the high-waisted pants must be his signature look.

Apparently, trolls screaming obscenities and threatening violence is OK, but mediocre trumpet is out of bounds.

I love the "I did this, I did that - you're nobody" mentality. Not just in this vid, but everywhere. If you're so great, why are we both at the same place and the same time in front of the same cell-phone camera audience.

This guy exemplifies everything that is wrong with music education and business.

He kinda reminds me of Denny Moses.

Personally, if I'm holding instrument of tempered brass, and some clown draws back like he's gonna hit me, Imma send him away without so many teeth.
