Conversation on the street in the Tenderloin neighborhood of San Francisco. Originally recorded on August 9, 2014.
This man's nickname is a very common name that has been used for famous songs, films, even a video game. I have omitted it from the title and description because I didn't want people searching for those to be misled into thinking this video was about those things.
This is interview number 1 of 2 interviews. A second interview, about 5 weeks after this one, is at:

This video is part of an ongoing series of occasional informal conversations/interviews with people that I happen to run across on the streets, mostly in the Tenderloin neighborhood of San Francisco.
I don't pretend to have any solution for, or special insight into, the world's problems, such as homelessness or drug use. Nor do I claim to be a great interviewer (or interview editor). I'm just interested in hearing people's stories, whoever they may be and whatever their situation may be.
Perhaps you'll find these conversations interesting as well, and perhaps they will put some names and stories to some of the faces you may see on the street.
