Heh.  I think I mentioned at Twitter or Facebook a month or two ago that I 
had gone down to the States to pick up some mail, and as I was approaching 
the border guard / customs officer, 'Born in the U.S.A.' came on the 
radio.  And then, when I got back to Canada, I was passing a church that 
had a *massive* empty parking lot -- made all the more striking by the 
fact that lots of townhouses were crammed into the neighbouring lot (so 
one site maximized its space and the other... didn't) -- and I was 
marvelling at this contrast when, at that precise moment, a cover of that 
Joan Baez song about paving paradise and putting up a parking lot came on 
the radio.  Bizarre.  Hasn't happened again since then, though, and I say 
this as one who made another trip to the States just yesterday.
