I spent nearly two hours on Tuesday at Fisherman's Wharf talking to David Johnson, who is also known as the World Famous Bushman. Johnson has been scaring passers-by along the Wharf since 1980. His act is simple: Johnson hides motionless behind some eucalyptus branches and waits for unsuspecting people to wander by. When they approach, he jumps out and startles them. 
Johnson was kind enough to let me interview him as well. I look forward to sharing it with you in the upcoming weeks. Don't feel bad for him though (I guess you can if you want, depending on how you view his situation). According to tax records, Johnson earns $60,000 a year. 
And then there was Hoseman (I love these names). I wanted to interview him as well, but there was a language barrier, so I just shot footage of this happy guy in action. He not only played the hose but he played tea cups and a yard blower contraption that looked like a saxophone, but played like a guitar. Talk to you later.
