Similarly:

I was at SXSW a few years ago, and we were watching this great Austin band Prescott Curlywolf. At any rate, my friend leans over to me, towards the end of their set, and says, "Hey, the lead singer looks like a young, scruffy Bruce Springsteen." As soon as he said it, the band kicked into a cover of Born to Run. He called it.

I was driving in my car in Chicago on President's Day, 2002 and Van Halen's "Panama" came on. I cranked it, then all of a sudden I heard this huge scraping sound. The exhaust pipe had becomed detached and was dragging on the pavement.

Iwas watching a fairly horrendous cover band. They said thay they were going to do a Nick Drake song. A friend turn to me and said "Nicky D is going to get'em for it" and just as the singer went up to say Black *whoosh* the brightes spark I've ever seen from an unproteted Mic shocked his lips so bad he was screaming in pain.
