That's They Might Be Giants. A whole nother (but very admirable) phenomenon entirely.

Really? I thought they were the same band! Kind of like with XTC and The Dukes of Stratosphear.

I'm surprised nobody can tell me why they split up. [Smile]

EDIT: OK, so I took the trouble to go and read about it on Wikipedia. Seems like they just didn't like each other.

Thanks, Hatrack! [Wave]

That bodyguard song. Arg! It doesn't make SENSE!
What doesn't make sense? The Bonedigger? The roly poly little bat-faced girl? ha ha... I've always loved the Graceland album. It's so African, but still such a poignant part of my 1980s Rocky Mountain childhood.

I really enjoy Paul's other solo albums, though. Rhythm of the Saints may always be my favorite. You're the One is good too. And I like the song "Hearts and Bones."

If you wouldn't mind a Simon & Garfunkelesque unsolicited recommendation, one of my favorite bands is just a little local duo (they've been performing for over 10 years and just this year got signed to a major label) called Storyhill. I call them the Simon & Garfunkel of Bozeman. Check out their website and their newest album. If you like that, pick up Reunion.

I always loved "You Can Call Me Al" too. Apparently it was inspired by a real-life case of mistaken identity... The imagery is delicious.

I had my 23rd birthday last month and this song was on my mind the whole time.
If you listen to the 1967 live album, you can hear him sing "I'm 23 now but I won't be for long," and it'll be like he wrote the song just for you. [Smile]

Well that settles the "are we the same person" question. [Razz]
