OH LORD, WON'T YOU BUY ME A MERCEDES BENZ

Some of us geezers remember that riff by Janis Joplin: https://youtu.be/5ddnwyyGo4s . This - I don't have a better term than performance artist - was at the second day of Artica, dressed in a tailored black suit, red tie, black patent leather shoes and a silk top hat. He knelt on what may have been a prayer rug in a posture of submission, subjugation and entreaty.

The sign, hard to read here, said:

$ PLEASE HELP $

#make America great again

#get off my grass (a reference to the McCloskeys, https://saintlouismodailyphoto.blogspot.com/2020/07/that-house-on-that-street.html)

#nearly lost $ in the stock market

And the sun was hot on that black suit.
