come true. So why hurt a man that only whats to make you laugh? Family ties needed to be restored and thats what he's doing. Please state only facts for his kids are affected be stupid remarks. Thank for your concerns, dear neibors your not forgotten just need to take care of home first. David
Johnson was misrepresent by someone without his permission. He is alive and well. The bushman lives on to hold the one and only original "WORLD FAMOUS BUSHMAN OF FISHERMAN WHARFS" name. Look for the original bushman to be back this summer.

had the temerity to ask me for money, claiming that since he managed to startle me, I owed him some money for his "Service." It is difficult to imaging how he could be called a "busker." I have seen the real buskers in London's
Underground, and these people have actual talent with which they entertain passers-by. The "Bushman" simply relies on a cheap gimmick. I do not think this person should be included in the category of famous performers or buskers.

who unknowingly pass by the man-made bush. Back then, Johnson would hold the bush and Jacobs would tell the jokes, entertain those watching the action, and collect the tips. It has been about fifteen years, and now they are complete enemies. Jacobs accuses
Johnson of running off with their money. Jacobs tries to avoid any conflicts with Johnson by not working where and when he is."

I was on
Fishermans Wharf in March of 2009. Bushman is alive and well! What a suprise to know that people would be so desprite to claim a man died even before they know the truth. Every man deserves to have a vacation I beleive. In his documenty he stated he left his family behind to make this all

An article in SFSU's press magazine says that "Many people are unaware that there are, in fact, two
Bushmen. When first came up with this gig, he recruited David Johnson, a man he met at Fisherman's Wharf. As they worked together they developed a close friendship. Johnson's deep voice scares those
648:
It is quite a stretch to label what he does as "performance." He hides behind some bushes and attempts to scare people. My first encounter with him was late at night walking along the waterfront with my date. He startled me so badly I practically struck him, thinking I was being mugged. He then

I don't think you have all the facts straight. He's come afoul of the law more than one time, albeit in minor ways. Someone was injured when startled by him, and it was not prosecuted. However, more than one person has complained about him to the police. It would take quite a bit of energy to

Agreed. He is definitely iconic; out-of-towners ask where to find him and he's a hallmark of one of SF's most touristy areas. He's done it for 27 years and has received a fair amount of press. The entry should remain. And I agree that Zephyr is only nagging on him because he got fooled. :)

To the best of my knowledge David was not arrested under any "new" laws. but was charged with simple assault. Since he never did any thing to assault any body, just played a joke on them in full public view, he beat the charges. Cruel yeah alittle bit butnot assault.

An article from 1999 makes it clear that Jacobs is actually the relative newcomer to the act: ""I look after him," says
Gregory Jacobs, who recently joined the act as a full partner. "I watch his back.""
