Bill Murray took over a cabbie’s ride in Oakland last week and drove to Sausalito just to hear the guy play sax.

It was on the Internet, so don’t even try telling me it wasn’t true.

Murray was at the Toronto Film Festival on Friday, where they were celebrating Bill Murray Day. The “St. Vincent” actor was on stage, when he told a story about being in Oakland earlier last week. According to Brobible.com, Murray apparently got into a taxi and ended up driving it to Sausalito so the cabbie could play his sax the whole way.

“When I’m conscious, it is a conscious decision,” Murray said of his off-screen antics, which in past year have included eating ice cream with fans, crashing a wedding and taking tickets at a minor league baseball game.

So the driver mentioned he played the saxophone. “I said, ‘When do you practice?,’ Murray reportedly told the Toronto Film Fest crowd. “He said, ‘I drive 14 hours a day.'” Murray then asked him, “Well, where’s your sax?” The driver said “In the trunk.”

Murray then reportedly told the cabbie, “Pull over and get in the back, I know how to drive a car.'”

“Not only did he play all the way to Sausalito, which is a long way, we stopped and got barbecue. He (wound up) playing in what some would call a sketchy, weird place in Oakland at 2:15 in the morning. I was like, ‘Relax, man, you’ve got the (expletive) horn! We’re cool!’ And it was great and it made for a beautiful night!”

It would be difficult to think up a better one.
