Yay! I'm taking my 12 year old nephew with me and he's looking forward to it too!




TMBG factoids


The sun is a mass of incandescent gas
a gigantic nuclear furnance

:hi:


(They Might Be Giants perform the theme and created all the incidental music for Comedy Central’s hit
“The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.”)

1. My kids loved TMBG when they (my kids) were in their teens. My ex could never remember
the name of the group but wanted to sound "in the know," so he'd say,
"Oh, are you listening to 'Maybe They're Monsters?'

2. They did the music on "Home Movies"
Ask them about that if you get to go backstage!

5. They did a lot of cool songs on that show
If you haven't left yet, ask them to play the one about Franz Kafka...

4. Regarding the theme, it should be noted...
...that it was originally written and performed by Bob Mould.
