Last night I got back from visiting family in Phoenix. I got off the light rail and on the way home decided to stop into the Irish pub in my neighborhood. It's owned and operated by a really nice guy from Ireland who's not trying to cash in on a theme bar like many of the other "Irish pubs" I've been to in different cities. Sat down at the bar with my suitcase to order a drink and not long after that "Zombie" came on. An instant smile came over my face (yes it's not a happy smiley song) before noticing a young woman sitting back down at the bar. I got up and walked over to ask "Did you just play The Cranberries?" She said "Yeah, sorry but I just had to." I said "No, please don't be apologize. Thank you." We exchanged friendly smiles before I went to sit back down. She had queued up a marathon of sorts including a lot of cool deep cuts and singles. I've been a fan since I was a teenager so yeah it was a good night at the pub in our rough but friendly neighborhood.
