There it was, in the aisle by the exit sign

The They Might Be Giants song "Number Three" was inspired by John Flansburgh's hatred of Ronald Reagan.

I learned this at the Q&A session following the Los Angeles premiere of the documentary/concert film "Gigantic (A Tale of Two Johns)," which I highly recommend, and not only because it contains appearances by both Conan O'Brien and Andy Richter.

On another note related to how I traveled to the screening, putting all my foreign language skills to work, I finally figured out that the Los Angeles Metropolitan Transportation Authority's slogan in English, "Travel Smart...Take Metro," is rendered as "Take Metro, It's Better" in Spanish, assuming I'm correctly translating "Viajar en Metro, es mejor." So either people who speak Spanish aren't smart, or Metro isn't any better for English speakers than the alternative, or both.

By going to see "Gigantic," I missed the All-Star Game, but I didn't really care since the Ted Williams clones aren't fully grown yet and therefore weren't playing. I'll bet if they were playing, it wouldn't have ended in a tie, unless both teams were made up of only Ted Williams clones, in which case they would have been perfectly evenly matched.
