On the overhead music in a Trader Joe's store, a song came on that used the intro to the Spirit song "Fresh Garbage." At first, I though someone was playing that song at a faster tempo. But when the singing started it was clear this was not "Fresh Garbage" that was playing. The verses and chorus were different. My hearing was not too good in there today, so I was unable to even guess who was singing, or what the lyrics might be, but more of the music from "Fresh Garbage" appeared within the song. Does anyone know the artist, the song, or the story of how some of Spirit's music ended up in the track? Is it some stolen riffs (It wouldn't be the first time Spirit was robbed)? Did Jay Ferguson, the songwriter of "Fresh Garbage," receive any compensation?
