Drove to Buffalo, NY this evening with Geoffrey to take in They Might Be Giants at a free concert in Lafayette Park. I great show. More event than concert. I was amazed at how many people were clueless as to who TMBGs are. The stage show can be as looney as the lyrics. The best part of the show was seeing young kids, 10 and under with their parents at the show having a great time. Ofcouse there was more than enough twenty something stock broker wannabees and young Britaneys getting hammered on lite beer and answering cell phones while other people were listening to music. (Why would anyone answer a phone or create a call 20' from a mountain of speakers at a rock concert?)

Well, it was a great time with my son anyway.

I discovered The Might Be Giants through my kids and found them to not only be tolerable but actually enjoyable. To me, they are certainly one of the more intersting rock groups and one of the very few I would make an effort to see. I have not heard much about them of late, and am glad to know they are still around.

NERD ROCK - way cool.

Any group that can write a song about

are good enough for me.

TMBG have carried the Woody Guthrie idea that one can write a song about absolutely anything to its logical extreme. Way cool stuff!!!

Good group, teetering on the brink of terminally clever at times. Now, Fountains of Wayne...there's a group for ya..

I was never a big TMBG fan but I have a certain affection for them as one of the defining "things" of my college days. I do, however, love the song "Minimum Wage", with the opening whip-crack.
