Prog in unexpected public places.

Last weekend, during the day when the tourists were all walking around, some guy was playing Close to the Edge outside on the sidewalk at the Pike Place Market in Seattle. 

Actually,  the rhythm is similar so I see what you mean.

This video portrays an old Tirol ritual involving beings that drive away the ghosts of winter....does anyone else hear "Lark's Tongues In Aspic - Part 2"?? 

There's one I forgot about but it might be stretching the definition of prog just slightly(although still an artist on this site). Sometime over the summer I was in a book store(in the US) and I saw a guy wearing a Jean Michel Jarre shirt. I talked to the guy for about half an hour and it turns out he's maybe a moderate prog fan(moderate because he didn't seem to know much about the current scene). We talked about how JMJ holds records for largest concert attendances worldwide while still being relatively unknown in the US. Anyway, it's not every day you see a guy wearing a shirt like that. I might not mention it if it was a Pink Floyd  shirt or Rush shirt(maybe a Yes shirt since you don't see many of those these days) but this goes beyond that.

I heard "Yoo doo right" by Can on an independent college station the other night while driving my car. I'm not sure if they played the whole thing or not since I left my car to do a little bit of shopping. I think I heard it before on that station and they didn't play the whole thing then and this time when I got back into my car several minutes later something else was on. Still, it was cool to hear it while I was driving.

I remember a long time ago hearing part of a Mike Oldfield song in a beer commercial. This was around 1990/91(no it wasn't something from Tubular Bells). It was part of the opening track on his Islands album(instrumental). No I don't remember which beer commercial.

The same can be said about some documentary on the BBC about trains that Hackett supposedly provided the music for a decade or two back. Read that somewhere once but never followed up on it. Would any of you English men care to weigh in on this to verify it?

I wonder how many people get it?
