Julius C performed at the corner of Broadway and Waverly, June 21, 2007, and they shook that tiny crowd. This is what rock and roll is supposed to be…young, dumb, and street.

Julius C, wherefore art thou?

Sometimes, for reasons even our magnificent brains can’t understand, musicians enter a car and play magic. After these guys stopped, passengers clapped.

New assault rap for Busta Rhymes. Another reason why “rap” is short for “crap.” According to cops, Rhymes beat up a driver who had the balls to ask for some back pay. As we reported here a few months back, Rhymes, champion of the underdog, is refusing to help cops find the perps who shot his bodyguard, Israel Ramirez.

City cop finds raising her six kids so hard, she looks forward to foot patrol. Now she’ s on the popular TV show “Nanny 911.” Reminds us of the interview for our first cabbie job. Dick the manager asked what we did before. Stupidly, we mentioned our kindergarten teaching experience. Dick goes, “Driving cab ain’t no kindergarten.” Uh, Dick, driving cab is a whole lot easier.

A real hero. Everyone loves Wesley Autrey, the guy who rescued a stranger who’d fallen on the subway tracks. Now the city’s giving him a year pass on the subway and his family a trip to Disney World.

Oh shut up. New York City opera diva calls her night with a few bedbugs “a terrifying experience.”

We liked new governor Eliot Spitzer, we really did, until washed-up, Christmas-song yodeling has-been sell-out James Taylor performed at the inauguration.

In his dog-eat-dog hurry to make a buck, Recharger sometimes forgets to stop and smell the music. The cool thing about Geo is his teeny weeny, um, guitar. Geovanni Suquillo, from Valle de Chillos, Ecuador, lives in Astoria, Queens and his teeny guitar is called a charango. For 12 years, he’s been part of the Music Under New York program (MUNY), run by the MTA, (Recharger loves the MTA), playing his charango in the subways three times a week. The charango, Geo tells us, has 10 nylon strings and is originally from the Andes (Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia). Geo’s charango plays songs from Russia and Spain, as well as South America. Play, Geo, play.
