i stopped at walgreens before heading over to mobile mud for the cabaret party (at which i had too much fun and stayed out way too late - i should have been in bed hours ago.... but that's not my point). as i'm grabbing the few things i needed, "two out of three ain't bad" was playing over the speaker system. now, meatloaf is just not my cup of tea (or my dinner of choice for that matter) so i was very happy when it finally faded out to make way for a walgreens plug. (why are you plugging the store? we're already here.) as the song faded out, i heard someone continuing to sing the song over the fade. i glanced over to see who could possibly like this song enough to sing along to it, and found somebody's grandma - and i'm talking grandma, or maybe great-grandma... she was at least 80 or so, in her mid-calf flowered skirt and blue sweater set - rummaging through the cover girl lipsticks and singing cheerily along to the music while swaying slightly to the (fading) beat. it was just too cute. i can't imagine either of my grandmothers even knowing who meatloaf is, let alone bopping along to it. it made me smile - thought i'd share.
oh, also (for some strange reason) the song that came on after the commercial was "cult of personality". really random music for a drug store...
