I've got sunshine ... on the No. 2 train ...

Yesterday I was on the train to work when this (black) guy came in with a guitar and a small amp.

"This song is for the white lady standing in front of me," he said.

I, of course, was the only white lady on the train.

"She looks like Britney Spears!" he said.

I told him I wasn't sure if he meant that as a compliment or an insult. He said to take is as a compliment. He then started singing "My Girl" to me.

"My girl ... my girl ... my girl ... the white lady is ... my girl ..."

Then he sang "La Bamba" to a Mexican woman* on the train and serenaded a black woman with dreadlocks with a Bob Marley song.

Gotta love subway performers.

On an unrelated note, I started a 2-week trial at a gym yesterday. There is a poster on the door that says:

Some states are red,
Some states are blue,
Mike Huckabee lost 100 lbs.
So can you.



*SIDENOTE: Never assume that someone is a Mexican, as they could be from Puerto Rico or South America or wherever. But he must have been right, because the woman didn't seem to mind.
