[@myrurallife_official]

@ImaCoward124 and those of us who knew him in High School were still curious how he got hired in the first place.

[@thecityman1910]

I am a City Manager myself (thus the username) and so this caught my interest. I found several things about this surprising. First, that he would go over and confront them and tell them they were in violation of a city ordinance, but then have to actually look up the ordinance. When he did, I was also surprised at how quickly he himself realized that the ordinance either didn't apply or was in opposition to state law, and then decided to just let them play. I've learned- and he should have to- that if you are going to confront people for a violation of a local ordinance, you need to be very familiar with that ordinance. City Managers and Police officers can usually get away with just saying "this is a violation, and you need to stop" because most people are unfamiliar with the ordinances and/or just don't want to bother arguing. But there are certainly times when you come across folks like Dovydas and his wife who challenge your statements and who are more familiar with applicable law than you are. Those situations are so embarrassing to a city manager or policeman that we usually review the ordinance before the confrontation, not during it. I can assure you this city (town) manager will be reviewing this ordinance and asking the city attorney if it conflicts with state law and otherwise brushing up on this before embarrassing himself like this again! Now, all that being said, I can't help but defend the guy a LITTLE bit. He was a little "Karen-esque" for sure, but I've seen SOOOOO much worse. He was generally pretty nice, and when he realized the ordinance wasn't as clearly prohibitive of live music as this location as he first thought, he did back down. You can say its because he had to, but I've seen plenty of cases where city managers and police offiers would never compromise or back down no matter how clearly wrong they are. I'm not a fan of this manager or what he did here, just saying he could have been much worse.

[@whiskeyrebellion4390]

[@highkicker11]

its even worse because he walked up saying they could not play after thanking them for their help with something before.

I was playing a role between homeless old man and artist. What is this man all about? In front of me was a small pink custom made round table with two blue kindergarten sized children's chairs. This was the typical set-up, but I did it slightly different each time. There were no permits required. I was not sitting on the ground on a carpet against any ordinance. They did not allow homeless people to sit directly on the street. Each time, each event, lasted no longer than the hour limit established by the city. Each of the 12 times I experienced WITH a participant a mystical experience. A few times merchants, or what I believe to be surveillance agents, witnessed these amazing events and later commented to me about what they believed they saw. I know what I experienced, and there was communication in one form or another from the willing participants. What is this old man doing? What was this artist revealing?

Jealousy

[@guitardzan5641]

Hey, the HOA nazi was just checking things out. You can see event tents in the background. The HOA members may have questions and now the HOA President can say that he looked into it....These kind of people are xenophobic as hell and this is what they are paying for. Personally, you couldn't pay me to live with that level of conformaty...

[@geraldmartin5016]

Some people feel the need to bark orders and "be in charge" If something someone is doing in public bothers me, I just go somewhere else. Pretty simple.

[@jdls1120]

Probably has no control in his home so he feels the need to try and have some fabric of control whenever he can. You find these spineless people everywhere.

[@myopinion7533]

So much talent. You make it look so easy because .

[@leggbert4209]

Aside from everything else your plating is amazing amd your guitar is beautiful

[@ehern10181990]

Should do a vid standing in a vast empty space. Maybe somewhere beautiful and epic like the grand canyon or something. Just shred into the void.

[@emerysmith1711]

Most definitely....YES!!! Imagine on a cliff over the ocean at sunset. #doitmakinmusic

[@fkknsikk]

@@emerysmith1711 I always wanted to go jam in a giant cave.

[@paulinefollett3099]

what a great idea. This would be epic.

[@darkmephilez]

Probably a little windy in the Grand Canyon 😂

[@rudedude110able]

“Shred into the void” would be a great album cover

[@den5zxz757]

Some folks just need to feel important i guess but look, its music. Its just another one of the forms of freedom that makes America different from alot of other countries. Thank you for acting civilly and standing your ground at the same time. Kudos big time for taking the high road. Love your work man.

[@mitchiban118]

awesome talent man! keep doing your thing ,there is going to be lovers and haters no matter what you do..awesome job

[@larrymartin858]

Damn, man! You are one of the best guitar players I've ever listened to.....if you'd been doing this back in my day--50 or 60 years ago--you'd have been a super star........

[@sonnygoc-ong7011]

@Larry Martin.... shoulda coulda would but didna happen.. this is "our" time... the past belongs in the past.... I'm very appreciative of the God-given talent this man along with his wife to share with us the on-point on-time stress relief we all need... JAM ON Brah... Evil cannot stand the truth... ALOHA

[@BorkenGarage]

Make no mistake he is a modern day superstar. Playing to a bigger audience than anyone would have thought possible back in the day.

[@larrymartin858]

@@BorkenGarage Well, I certainly don't disagree.....but I seriously doubt he has the same kind of name recognition as a Jimmy Page or an Eric Clapton or a Jimi Hendrix...

[@BorkenGarage]

@@larrymartin858 Yeah but he hasn't been around for 40 years either.

This is how things should be handled....respectfully on both sides. I wish all conflicts were handled this way. Absolute AWESOME music on this video!

[@Q.Q.]

Yet another "conflict" that had no need to exist. A power-tripped simpleton of a rule-follower, with no nuance for the intent of the rule/law, any sense of context.

[@ateosedm5690]

Are you kidding? That guy was a power tripping douchebag. He might have been calm but he was still douchy and wrong.

[@Drusymom]

@@ateosedm5690 it was still handled in a calm way. I agree with you about the guy but he handled him perfectly to me. Playing the song that he did afterward made the guy look completely foolish.

[@jordanbennett6461]

That dude in the hat tried to walk off and then the shredding stopped him in his tracks a second time. So good

[@Adam_Wilde]

Sorry Rosemary, I lost myself there. Where are we going? Oh the cake lottery, thats right.

He always amazes me every time he plays he is so good 👍 such a amazing guy that has a great talent 👏 ❤ 💖 💗 💜 ♥ great job that was definitely jamming like when he stopped and then started playing again that sound so cool 😎 keep up the great work

I put your videos on my home stereo a d enjoy a nice drink watching the sunset all the time. DUDE YOU ROCK! It's like a live concert in my living room and I know my neighbors can hear it loud n clear, I don't get any complaints! Lol

@Ronald Cummings Is that from the movie The Hitman's Bodyguard when Samuel Jackson says when life gives you @#$$ you make lemonade and then Ryan Reynolds says when life gives you @#$% you don't make a beverage out of it?😃

[@AnthonyGrubbM]

@@timw.3536 It's a pretty well-known phrase, so no allusion to that or any other particular movie need be inferred.

[@timw.3536]

@@AnthonyGrubbM actually the reference to the movie is necessary so that no one would think I plagiarized like your favorite President did and still does.
