You aren't giving him your money.  You work for a living. You are glad you aren't him.  Makes you feel different, special, maybe a little proud.  
Walking on by you wonder if you really are all that different.  You turn around, go back, break out your guitar and play with the guy for fun.  
As you are packing up he asks you if you want half the change the passers-by threw your way when the two of you were playing. Underlying message, don't judge a book by it's cover.
..and this for part two:
It's August in Chicago.  It's hot enough to break into a sweat just standing there.  The loop roars overhead.  There is construction all around.  People walk by non stop.  The smell of food from the local restaurants makes your mouth water.  There is pigeon crap all around under the construction scaffolding.
