Leo Kottke

I enjoy reading John's tales of homeless interaction. I don't have to deal with the angry homeless guys much these days, but in my Austin days it was almost a daily occurrence.

Once in a while some homeless dude would bring his unique brand of weirdness to the Sound Exchange where I worked. It's sad that people who are obviously mentally ill are on the street, but it's hard to feel real sympathetic when they are berating you.

Leo Kottke!
what's that?
Leo Kottke!!!
any particular album by Leo Kottke? I asked knowing we didn't have any, but maybe it could be ordered.
I told him before! pointing to no one in particular 'Leo Kottke! said the homeless, growing more and more noticeably angry.

I know this guy is in need, but he's starring at me and shouting Leo Kottke! It's starting to piss me off.
