Coincidental magic - Caligostro - 09-26-2002
Could it happen that Doug just walks over
some fair or through a shopping mall or similar
and the music pouring from the stalls triggers
his magical talent? Unwanted, I mean.
This would make for some interesting side effects
since music is played almost everywhere public
nowadays ...

b) when he goes bar-hopping with Lisa, he adjusts his 'tuneplug'. This seems to be a device specifically designed to keep exactly what oyu're sugesting from happening...

Exactly. There's an entry in the Concordance (www.eclipse.net/~rms/dw2conc.html) that explains the tuneplug and how/why it works.
