...Admittedly, the Iowa caucus is the most painstaking, complicated form of democracy to exist outside a campus women's collective. Instead of walking into a voting booth, pulling the top lever for President and randomly yanking the rest of them like you're supposed to, the caucus is a three-hour Monday-night political dorkfest reserved for the kinds of people who get psyched about jury duty.

Collingwood spent a year tending his garden, while Schlesinger turned to a lucrative career producing albums and writing songs for movies and television. (Schlesinger got an Oscar nomination for the song That Thing You Do. He also writes occasional sketch music for Saturday Night Live.) Eventually the band regrouped and signed with tiny SCurve records.
