John Flansburgh on his 2022 Drunk Driver Collision

They Might Be Giants' John Flansburgh suffered severe injuries when his taxi was hit by a drunk driver after a concert at New York City's Bowery Ballroom in June 2022. John shares his memories of the accident -- and how it has affected his life since then.
Hear this tale and others on the season 2 premiere of the podcast I Couldn't Throw It Out, hosted by Michael Small -- who wrote the very first They Might Be Giants review in People Magazine in 1985. During the episode, John tries to help Michael throw out TMBG memorabilia that he has saved for decades. Does he succeed? Well, sort of...
I Couldn't Throw It Out, co-hosted by former journalist Michael Small and Sally Libby, tells the stories behind treasures he has saved for decades, including his never-heard audio interviews with Joni Mitchell, Eazy-E, Jennifer Beals, Kiefer Sutherland, Jean-Michel Basquait and others.

Got to see TMBG on May 15th, 2024 and they still have the fun and energy that they had back when I saw them on the Flood tour in 1991.

Actually I just got into TMBG. Several years ago. I was big into Ben Folds. I sync pop tunes to classic movie scenes on my you tube page. But I am a fast learner and am so appreciative of the music they make. So many good songs.
