As some of you know, i work at a big out of town Cinema complex, we have 8 screens and about 15,000/20,000 people walk through our doors a week.
Anyway, I created a few CDs for our main hallway/consessions area and i stuck some John on there.
I guess there's no point really to this thread just that i wanted people to know that John is reaching a wider audience in the town of Watford as today around 3,500 people had the opportunity to hear John Frusciante.
peace out

That's wonderful. I wish I would hear John in public places like that, cinemas, cafes, restaurants, etc. I don't think I have EVER heard any of John's songs in public before. That is sad 
.
I get all excited when I hear the Peppers being played, so I would probably
react very very similarly if I heard John
.
So, thumbs up for your guerilla action.

Thumbs up for this indeed. And, if people liked it, then it surely is success:)

This was a great thing to do!!..I say spread the good music as much as possible. Some people miss out on talent like John since they only rely on the radio for music.
I actually think all it takes is one good song or artist someone can relate to for them to be introduced to a whole new world of music...so you could be doing lots of people a huge favor.
And it would totally make my day if I heard John's music in public somewhere

"I prefer to learn everything through music. If you want divinity, the music in every human being and their love for music is pretty much it. It's the big indication of their spirituality and their ability to love and make love, or feel pain or joy, and really manifest it, really be real." - Jeff Buckley

That is so true! Just one song can completely hook me, and I think that goes for alot of people.
He's gotten some positive feedback from his work mates, yay!
I think I have yet to hear Johns music in a public place, but if I did...

I got some vouchers from a music store in Bray for Christmas from a friend The folder that holds the vouchers is just covered with singers and actors.... and guess who is there! There is John, Ant and Flea from the BSSM era. Though poor Chad doesn't make an appearance!

I suggest you make a bit of a best of, maybe with stuff from Shadows, Curtains, etc. You know the slightly more "accessible" stuff. The public would love it. And if you let them have a wee listen before you start to bombard them with pleas!
I have 2 friends that i have got listening and they loved him straight away. Another one i started on Curtains and she thinks it's really depressing so I am working on slipping other songs in there that she won't realise!!!!
