Music, as is with most other types of art, has to speak to you.
If the best rappers in the world were doing their thing, I'd pass without pausing.
If it were a guitarist, I'd stop. I play guitar, and look for tips anywhere I can.
Violins, not so much my thing, but unless he was playing a piece I knew, I would just stop to study his technique for any tips I could get.
I paid $75 to see TOOL, but I wouldn't pay $100 to see Joshua Bell. I bet most of Bell's audience couldn't tell the difference between him, and a "lesser" musician. Most are there to impress themselves, and each other with their "taste" and "sophistication".
If I were late for work I wouldn't stop for anyone.
I love music, but work pays the bills.
