An update from -John F., guitar man. After 6 long days in hospital, I’m now recovering at home. It will be slow but I am already feeling much better (at least that’s what the meds told me to say) Thanks to the Daily News for bumping me up to lead guitarist. (Dan, it wasn’t me!)
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

Our friends
@okgo
are being sued by
@postcereals
for having their name before Post did. This is wrong. If you agree, please spread the word. Thank you- John F. TMBG
This Thursday is the 40th anniversary of They Might Be Giants first show as They Might Be Giants. How will we celebrate? We’ll be in the studio working on new songs!
Our friends
@okgo
are really being sued by
@postcereals
for their name, even though they had it long before Post did. Crazy and wrong but true! If you agree, please spread the word. Maybe we can stop this together.

for many years, our pre-show mix tape has featured Biz Markie. It would never fail to rouse the audience into a deliriously uplifting singalong. Thank you, Biz. Rest in power.
JF: speaking as a childless cat person, I would like to note- half of my local taxes go to schools. I am not only emotionally invested in the future of this country, I’m paying just as much for my neighbors kids education as they are.
PS: now our cat wants a vote!
JF: A quick explanation of our enduring blue check. We have had many attempted hacks of our account and jumped to the two-factor authentication. Do we resent paying? You bet! But with so many oddballs trying to pry in to our account it seemed like the only option… for now.
JF: lt seems pretty clear POTUS is actively hcomplicit in covering up the murder of a US resident and journalist by a foreign government. Yes, people find it tedious when bands don't "stick to the music" but it's even worse when the media doesn't make leaders stick to the truth.
