Coney Island with They Might Be Giants
Studio 360 hits the beach. Kurt Andersen visits Coney Island with They Might Be Giants, who sing an ode to that guy with the metal detector looking for … whatever he’s looking for. Plus stories about mermaids, seashells, and a sand sculptor who takes his castles very seriously. (Originally aired: July 05, 2003)
