Street  musician "busking" Thurs morning

I think his name is "Hari Kari'.  He is an iconic street musician of Venice Beach.  Been there for ever and ever.  Famous.  When I was homeless I would park in a Gypsy lot on Westminster St.

Now he wants me to buy his T-shirt for twenty dollars to take his picture.  Took it anyway.
