Lucky Guy that gets ripped off by the newspaper machine  is lead vocalist, musician and founding member of Poi Dog Pondering.  The tune that he whistles after he passes the Sidewalk Psychic is  "Postcard From a Dream (Toast and Jelly)" from their first studio  album, recorded in Austin. The woman that claims to have change but  doesnt give it to him is Abra Moore, though she had left Poi Dog by  then.
