I was out at dinner the other night and, surprisingly, the restaurant had "Jeremy" playing.
It was really odd. Great of course to hear, but really odd. The atmosphere of the restaurant and the people who worked there didn't seem condusive to Pearl Jam being played. Some other good stuff, current songs that sound alot like bands having been influenced by Pearl Jam, Jane's Addiction, etc. circa 1992, were playing.
Prior to that, I went and had three seperate epidural cortizone shots in my back, and they were playing Bush, and Jane's Addiction, among other things, when I was on the table, but the people in the room didn't really "look" like the music being played was "there thing" (a nurse in her 70's, an asian doctor in his 50's, etc.)
Anyone else have such an experience, as if some greater force "knew you would appreciate some decent songs" be placed in a not quite "right" environment?

Did the restaurant have a "Burger King" logo on the front of it?

I was away at school a few years ago, and I stayed there for Christmas, cos I couldn't afford to fly home. Alone in a strange city on Christmas Eve, I went out for dinner with two good friends from Ottawa, to the Keg. After dinner, I went outside for a cigarette, and just as I got outside, Long Road started playing on the speakers outside.. I was there alone, it was snowing in the downtown market, people were walking by, christmas lights everywhere.. It's moments like these that are the reason I am a Pearl Jam fan.

Awesome! That reminded me of the time that my brother and his friends went to a restaurant/bar and they all had a drink that was called "The Riot Act" before we went to Irvine 2 last year. They were all pumped until the drinks actually arrived...they were bright pink and had an umbrella in it. It was kind of a letdown, but cool nonetheless.

whoa, muzak Release? I gotta hear that.
Yeah, I worked at a grocery store too, and every christmas I've worked, they played Let Me Sleep, always a treat. Plus, probably being the only person in the whole store who knew what it was and could sing along to it rocked.

Last night I had a dream that I was in a restaurant and pearl jam was actually there eating! that probably doesnt count but it was still a happy occurance. Later Eddie called me on the phone at the restaurant because he was mad that i didnt say Hi to him. they don't call it a dream fer nothin'
