Of Hippies and Musical Serendipity

The other day I was listening to John Prine’s ‘’Fair and Square'’ CD (a great CD which I highly recommend, by the way) in the car on the drive home from work. As I stopped at a stop sign a man came around the corner pushing a baby stroller.

This guy looked like he could be the guitar tech for the Doobie Brothers. I’m talking early 1970’s-pre-Michael-McDonald here people!

Anyway just then John Prine hit the “Lord, this world will make you crazy” refrain in “Crazy as a Loon“. Not missing a beat I sang along:

“I believe that hippie stole that baby…”

As always, I laughed at my cleverness all the way home.
