Particulars: Let me make one thing perfectly clear: I love my iPod(s - I have two in case one runs out of battery power before I am finished carving for the day.) I have playlists created just for different stages of a contest, including "gofast" for shoveling; "thinkhard" and "dreamon."

Even so, I like and support live music with great enthusiasm. The musician in this sculpture is having a very rough time scoring any tips, due to the fact that his potential audience members are each plugged into his or her personal audio world.

Tough world for a picker.
