energythief- Wow, that's a legitimately awesome comment. I never thought of it like that before, and I'm not entirely sure I agree with you yet (due to my preconceived notions about the meaning being nothing like your interpretation), but I like it a lot.
tippita - I genuinely love the fact that you teach literature and are describing They Might Be Giants' songs on the same level as poetry. That's excellent.
comp1167 - I too felt like the Join Us album has a lot of writing-like metaphors/ideas/analogies in it; at first, I thought this was because I listened to the album during a time where I was very obsessed with writing (which I still am, but less so now), but the fact that someone else thinks it's largely about writing gives validity to my thoughts. Thank you for validating them.
