Yesterday, to celebrate his cd release, Keith Urban played some songs in some unconventional
places. One of them was on a train to Philadelphia. He started in New York City at the 30th Street Station, where he played a four-song set in the station. Then he hopped the Amtrak train to Philadelphia and proceeded to serenade the train-load of people while they traveled.

Bet he could make a cheesesteak song a hit, don't you think?
