I was grocery shopping two days ago. Strolling along pushing a shopping cart when I hear a musak tune that sounds vaguely familiar. I had to really listen for a minute to figure out it was a badly done instrumental version of Rainy Day People. It was painful to listen to. Lots of "twinkly" piano and strings. The arranger of that sucker should be tied down and forced to listen to it for three or four hours straight.

Okay, I know I'm new here, but has anyone else had similar experiences? Take for instance about a half hour ago when I was getting some lunch down in Penn Station (yes, in NYC)... there was a female folk musician down there playing "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" (pretty baddly, I might add). Now, I've worked above Penn Station for 3 years and I've NEVER heard anyone down there playing GL before. (Okay, I did hear that travesty of a pop remake of "If You Could Read My Mind" a year or two ago in the Penn Station KMart, but that's not quite the same.)
So here's the question -- what is the weirdest place/situation in which you've heard GL songs? (Or am I the only one having these experiences?) 
Cris.
PS - it's thanks to that bad singer down in the station that I ran a search and found this site, so I guess she was good for something after all!
