...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...

"Just saying my goodbyes, I guess," murmured Yip, a father of two. "For the past year, J.J. has been my third...
...Which could mean that Dolly, who was named after country star Dolly Parton for the mammary glands she was supposedly extracted from, is a living lie. If this is the case -- and tests are being conducted as we speak -- she will lose her status as world's first cloned mammal to a pair of monkeys in Oregon. Poor lamb...
