Kids and "Witchy Woman"

So we took our son to his first Halloween event today. We dressed the poor kid up like a sheriff and then took him to listen to a woman reading books to a whole group of children at a local big box book store. As I stood there watching him watching the woman reading I was struck by how everyone in the area seemed completely oblivious to the smooth stylings of The Eagles singing "Witchy Woman" while a bunch of kids listened to children's Halloween stories.

I finally leaned back to a fellow father standing in close proximity and said quietly, "There's something especially appropriate about listening to "Witchy Woman" during a children's story time." He laughed and indicated that he hadn't even noticed. I thought it was pretty funny and that nothing could really top it, until the 1966 hit "Little Red Riding Hood" came rolling out of the store's speaker system.
