Well, I was doing food shopping one night in a PathMark (thats what we
have in the NY/NJ area) where they pump in real hits, like an actuall
Eagles song, Elton John,Dan Folgelberg etc...
One night I heard the opening notes to a very familiar song, and it took
me a few moments to shake the cobwebs and realize it was Behind Blue Eyes
from the Scoop album. Pretty cool. I have new respect for Muzak...I thought
to myself whether or not I was the only person in the store that was
familiar with that version. ( Arrogant snob, aren't I... ;)
( My compliments go out to the programmer that thought to put that in. )
