At the very height of @Glen_Hansard's fame, I was walking down Broadway with my girlfriend. Just south of 14th he passed us with his guitar on his back. We made eye contact while I tried to process the recognition. I turned around to double-check and he must have known because he nodded to say, "Yup, it's really me." I nodded back and kept walking. I looked it up later and Glen was casually walking up Broadway with his guitar to play a huge show. Legend.
