Potential Research Topic

Something that has interested me my whole life has been subway street preformers. Born and raised in New York City I am fairly familiar with these preformers. Now there are more of them than ever. I have always wondered why they do this? Do they enjoy preforming for strangers? Has music and/or entertainment always been in their lives? Do they have aspirations for the future? There are so many questions I have. Some of these preformers have real talent and I wonder why they resort to giving free preformances in public. It might seem like an easy way to make money but living in a city they probably want to take advantage of one of the places with the most people passing through it everyday.
