DC Squibbles

This morning as I was walking through the Farragut West Metro Station towards the escalators, I noticed a guy trying to help a homeless woman. She was playing a harmonica, had what appeared to be black face makeup on (I'm not sure why, as she was African-American) and was not letting the guy help here. Instead, she was giving him an impromptu harmonica lesson. She played a bit of a song, and right as I was walking by I heard her say, "That is the christian song, Amazing Grace, which I wrote."

I think I've seen that lady on the metro before. She wears these white rag things for clothes, right? Ya, she's crazy.
