"I remember Paul Sharits hated They Might Be Giants. He stood up in the middle of their set and yelled 'What the fuck is this?' I think he expected hardcore rock 'n' roll—not whimsical pop rock" (Steve Gallagher, Facebook Comment, 9/7/22). (Former Hallwalls performance and then film curator Steve Gallagher was a student and friend of Sharits's and programmer of this event.)
