Drifters

Here are my comments posted on Space's May 2 2010 blog article "Expired 過了限期！" ...

"... I lived in a small mining town for almost three yrs and saw a lot of travelling musicians trying to make a living in smoky bars where nobody paid attention. Just like in the movie [Crazy Hearts], many of them had drug and alcohol issues. There are women who would fall for drifters, but not likely the sensible type played by Maggie G. ..."

BTW, there are many places where one may encounter drifters. For examples: seasonal forest camps, railway track gangs (see my blog article at 【鐵路人狼】), Midway carnivals, shelters for homeless men, bars in seedy parts of town, hospital ER on weekends, etc.

The above are said without judgment and should not be considered as a put-down against drifters (esp many of the old-timers I met on the train tracks one summer when I was working for Canadian National Railway CNR).
