The reunion of Blur inspires fans' graffiti adoration (or viral marketing?)

London had a run-in with Cool Britannia yesterday, as Blur fans, seemingly excited about the recent announcement of the band's reunion, wrote the lyrics to Blur's 2003 single, "Out of Time" in graffiti on the Millennium Bridge.

The graffiti reads: "And you've been so busy lately / That you haven't had the time / To open up your mind / And watch the world spinning / Gently out of time."

The graffiti is not tagged, and therefore, not permanent, but it was a happy surprise to those excited about the reformation of one of the biggest British bands of the 1990s.
