Performer dressed as Tin Man stabs man in Times Square
This Tin Man needs a heart, and a lawyer.

Yesterday, Gerald Brown, who was painted to look like the Wizard of Oz character, stabbed a man with a screwdriver, according to police and witnesses.

The street performer got into an argument with a CitySights employee and their heated words escalated to violence.

According to the Daily News:

"It was a scuffle going back and forth on the ground," said Eric Jones, 24, a store manager who watched the attack. "The silver guy got up and took off."
The stabbing was the result of a turf war. Cops say Brown regularly picks fights with other performers, including a guy dressed as Spider-Man.

2. I use to think that story was about a claim of people being what makes a difference.
Later I thought more about it being having the oil inside you, for a while thinking on that story I thought it could be a bad story, and spent much time thinking on its concepts, and all the parts a person has in them that can make a difference.

Unless you thought of Oz as the store... But I don't think of it that way either, because as you say, he did not give them what they already had. Although the journey showed them what they had.


Also why I like the story now much better then a few years back, when I was more critical of that story and had to think about it awhile to find some better ideas in it.
