Sorry, these aren't The Rockers (or Midnight Rockers) of WWF fame but if you happen to be visiting Puerto Vallarta and see these guys just give them a tip and they'll create an art piece for you as well!
Niccy and I have been to Puerto Vallarta before so we knew the lay of the land fairly well. We caught a city bus down to The Malecón a 12-block, mile-long esplanade in Puerto Vallarta's Centro and Zona Romántica. It's the place where all the tourists go to see the "Real" Puerto Vallarta. There's a restaurant down there that we like that is off a side street so there's no real tourists but a great view of the ocean.
As we were walking to the restaurant Niccy decided to stop and look at some of the tourist traps along the way. I had no interest in this so I wandered down to the waterfront and came across these two.
As I was sitting there the guy in the striped shirt came up and asked if I spoke Spanish. I told him a little so he told me how he and his friend like to create "art" for the tourists and they gladly accepted tips for their effort. I asked him how much "tip" was appropriate and he said anything would be appreciated. I had some peso coins in my pocket that I didn't feel like lugging around so I gave them to him. He ran over to his friend and they started in on creating this "art piece" as a token of their appreciation.
I probably gave him about $1 US so I considered that to be payment for snapping off a couple of quick shots while they worked.

The open boulevards in Ueno Park also attract small groups of Japanese rockers who wear tight leather pants and quiff hairstyles and like to dance to 50s rock'n'roll music. They also seem to like playing the air guitar.
