[USML Announce] Never fear Cubs fans

[Brad Jansen]

Rick, I share your endorsement of Nate Silver, my favorite geek after
Jeffrey Winick. I must mention, however, that Mason Williams did not sing
"Classical Gas." I recall he played an acoustic guitar on this
instrumental. Perhaps you confuse that song with "Grazin' In The Grass (Is
a Gas, Can You Dig It?)".....ah, those were the days, my friend....
