Color me a skeptic, but I think most of these kinds of stories have logical explanations, even if they aren't readily apparent.

I had thought through some of the logical stuff like the fact that it was a rock station and that Soul Asylum was the band du jour. But, in four years of listening to this station, they had never once played KISS. And, c'mon, my Soul Asylum song starting right at the line in the song that I use to memorialize my friend? Dead air can happen. Usually for only a few seconds until someone catches it and rights the wrong. But this was nearly 60 seconds worth with no acknowledgment from the station of some kind of error or technical difficulty (which almost always happens). The song had been playing and just cut out. Sixty seconds of the song disappeared. If you have any experience in radio, then you know that amount of dead air would wind up in the firing of a DJ or producer.

Plus, we all know that in-house lighting clearly has an affinity for Ford versus Chevy. It's the new Clapper... "Ford"=on; "Chevy"=off. Explains that one right there, doesn't it?

Ric, I consider it anomalous in that I can't explain it. Nor do I really want to. I like the idea that my friend visited me. There were one or two more after that, but nothing quite as dramatic. It's a very happy memory and one that I relish thinking about. It's quite nice knowing that, of all people he could've visited, he chose me.
