5 Marlon CrumpEveryone has the right to make ends meet and perform. Larry is not hurting anyone, he's just trying to earn a honest dollar like everyone else!

12 Zoey GlassbergI work for a non-profit that helps individuals get out of debt, and it's wonderful to see people working hard to help themselves. Larry and others like him are an inspiration and they shouldn't be penalized for trying to survive just like the rest of us.
13 Elihu HernandezEven Mayor Gavin Newsom was photographed playing Larry's buckets. Who has a problem with this guy if music is art?
14 Nathaniel Holmeslet the music play!!

16 Sam DodgeLarry Hunt is an important part of San Francisco.
17 Paul HogarthI knew Larry back at UC Berkeley when he was the "Drummer Guy" on Sproul Plaza. We all loved him back then, and it was such a pleasant surprise to run into him again a few years ago in San Francisco. Larry brings joy to so many people. This is so wrong.
18 Mark EllingerAs a local artist living in the central city area, I strongly condemn the persecution of Larry Hunt. San Francisco is shamelessly punishing some of the very people that make this city so wonderful and unique. For further information about who I am, please go to http://upfromthedeep.wordpress.com/

21 Robin WalshI don't think this qualifies as "cleaning up." In Paris, some of the most sought-after items by young artists are the passes you can get from the city to be able to play music legally in the underground Metro system. Why can't we have the same sort of respect for artists here?
22 Dianna CrowleyHow unfair!
23 Peter Masiakstart protecting and serving the people of SF rather than the tourists and corporations
24 Karen FabecI have enjoyed Larrys drumming for years. Its even given me a great pickup when I've been down. Im a musician and I feel that he really is truly talented and even more so because he expresses his excellentr drumming on the lowly recycled bucket. Hes a city treasure and truly San Franciscan !
25 Leanne EdwardsStreet music is all about the character and uniqueness of San Francisco. I love going downtown and in Union Square and hear street musicians. Heck, you have an annual calendar that goes out with scheduled street musicians. It's a beautiful thing we have going on here with street musicians. Don't make it a crime!!!
26 mesha Monge-IrizarryThe staff and volunteers of : * Education Not Incarceration, * Idriss Stelley Foundation, * SF_Village_Voice CommunityRadio, consider Brother Larry as a Warrior Astist in the best San Francisco "liberal" tradition Criminalizing Larry sadly contradict this reputation... Celebrate and Honor Street Art, San Francisco ! In Unity & Respect mesha Director
27 Don BrennanLarry Bucket is an extraordinary musician, a "fine" artist in every sense, and San Francisco should pay the man a stipend rather than giving him punitive citations!

33 MinemaI love street performers. They are a huge contribution to the rich character of the SF City Streets. I understand not ALL people enjoy the same music but they should appreciate his contribution. Take the street performing away and all you have left is cars screeching and people yelling. They should stop and take the time to jam with Larry.

44 Alysabeth AlexanderI LOVE Larry, and San Francisco and Union Square would not be the same without him. Everyone loves his performance and his presence. Every time I walk by his performance in the day, tourists and residents alike love his presence.
45 Shizue SeigelNot only was Larry "Bucketman" Hunt seen in ęPursuit of Happyness," over 33,000 people have viewed and his complex percussive style on YouTube. Musicians like Larry provide the kind of color and texture that make San Francisco a unique tourist destination.

49 Chelsea SullivanI am a San Francisco native that works downtown and pass by Larry "The Bucket Man" often. He is part of the flavor of San Francisco that those of us that live here enjoy and tourists come to see. There is always a crowd of people standing and dancing around as this man earns his living. Without Larry and other street performers on our city streets we would be a BORING and lame city! and the tourists that help our economy will stop coming.
