OK there was a car pulled up at the light next to the bus, it was a red, convertible Mustang, top down.  There was a badminton birdie hanging from the rear view mirror.  And the man driving it was a short, skinny, pimply  dude with a baseball cap and big aviator sunglasses.  And one of those jackets made of swishy material, with many colours and slogans like &#8220;New world Jacket!&#8221;.  And the song?  The song he was BLASTING from his car at the corner of Broadway and Kingsway (right near Kingsgate mall, oh yes)? <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.afn.org\/~afn30091\/songs\/b\/branigan-gloria.htm\"> Gloria.<\/a>  You&#8217;re always on the run, now.

And then the light changed and he roared into 2nd gear and he was off, only to pull up again next to us &#8211; on da bus &#8211; at Fraser.  New song though.  &#8220;Be With You&#8221; by <a href=\"http:\/\/mrbigsite.com\/guestbook.mv?parm_func=view\"> Mr. Big.<\/a>  Wha?  I mean, yes, I have these songs on mixed tapes and when I go out sometimes I listen to them.  But if I had a functioning stereo in my car and that much attitude to back it up, I&#8217;d get some goddamn Eminem.
