I am a lawyer and I frequently sing in the streets. With some its improved my reputation. With others its hurt may reputation. Of course, the opinions of those others is not worth a fig. Most don't seem to care one way or the other. Judge my legal work by my legal work and my music by my music.

Of course, I've almost been arrested a couple of times, but when the cops learn I'm an attorney they usually decide not to bother. Those First and Fourteenth Amendments are such a bother for the police. No one has ever suggested that I be hauled before the local Professional Ethics Committee, however.
