But amid all the high-fiving about how wonderful and glorious it was, we seem to have glossed over the fact that on that beautiful Thursday morning we sent the same man on the same trip he made 36 years ago. It is as if we had a great big back-slapping national jamboree at Kitty Hawk in 1939 to watch the Wright brothers skim the sand in a new biplane...

These rare and vivid images are beautiful and show Schine's strength...
...think this show was just a feel-good, mindless display of silly pop music. Almost every erudite song TMBG has recorded made an appearance; the Johns even commented on this very fact. The characteristics of our fellow man were explained in Apollo 18's song "Mammal." Our glorious 11th president was immortalized in "James K. Polk," an upbeat song in which confetti was dispersed over the crowd by a gigantic cannon. The end of the regular set saw a punked-out and speeded-up version of "Why Does The Sun Shine (The Sun Is a Mass of Incandescent...
