I have most of their releases, and I was lucky enough to see them live. I also met them after the show, much to their chagrin. My friend, who I went with, was an autograph hound at the time, and he'd heard what hotel they were staying at, so we were waiting at the entrance for them. They definitely seemed uncomfortable with the encounter, but they were nice enough to sign my friend's skull (plastic skull, not the one he uses to store his brain). We were actually staying at the same hotel, so after we hooked up again with the rest of our party, we went to the elevator to go to our floor and the two Johns were disappointed again as they were in the elevator we caught. It was a little awkward going up, and they couldn't get away from us soon enough. Ha ha. Good times. I'm sure I got a little of that story wrong since some time has passed, but the important detail of them being freaked out by us is an enduring truth.

I could see them being uncomfortable since they are such down to earth kind of guys. Nice to see another fan!

I really like them, but I'm afraid I've only got Flood. I keep meaning to get more of their stuff, but I never remember when I'm buying CDs...

Ken, your kids (and you!) will love their "kiddy" music. They have 3 kids CDs out... "Here Comes the ABC's", "Here Comes the 123's", and "Here Comes Science". Every single one is a gem.

The versions with the DVDs are definitely the way to go. Also, you're forgetting that No! was their original children's album, and it's still my favorite, though that one doesn't come with a DVD.

Oh, but I forgot that No! is an enhanced CD, so there is a visual/interactive component to it.

No!, I'm not!  I have it too, as well as their bedtime story book. My kids love them a whole lot. My little one (will be 3 next week) always says "Daddy, music, basement!". I take him downstairs, pop in a TMBG DVD and watch him dance around. Then, the older boy comes down and they both dance like maniacs. It's wonderful.

Ha ha. I kind of miss getting so much enjoyment out of the little things. Now it takes such a huge fix to get the tiniest buzz.
