Then they wouldn’t understand a word we say,
\n<\/address>\n
So we’ll scratch it all down into the clay
\n<\/address>\n
Half believing there will sometime come a day
\n<\/address>\n
Someone gives a damn
\n<\/address>\n
Maybe when the concrete has crumbled to sand
\n<\/address>\n
We’re the Mesopotamians

So I had the pleasure of going to see one of my favorite bands of all time last night and as usual they didn\u2019t disappoint. They Might Be Giants are in my opinion one of the most underrated alternative bands ever. I mean really, how many bands do you know that effectively utilize the accordion, the cowbell AND the glockenspiel. My husband, Jason, went to the show with me, kicking and screaming all the way. You see, he never seems to join in on the fun when it comes to concerts. To him they are an overpriced venture to go see some self-serving bunch of schmucks basque in their own glory. Even he came out of the show with the following to say \u201cWow, those guys are really fun. I think I could go see them over and over again. They obviously really enjoy playing music.\u201d I know I\u2019m partial but I still think it\u2019s a brilliant observation and to me a source of the bands cult like following and longevity. Bottom line, if you ever get a chance to go see \u201cthe Johns\u201d play, don\u2019t hesitate. I promise that even if you couldn\u2019t quote a single stanza of Particle Man, you\u2019ll have a bang up time and come out the door with a smile on your face. TMBG never ceases to turn my frown upside down.<\/p>\n
