Timbuk3's $50,000 per year would be $148,000 today. It would still buy a lot of beer, but probably not a house in California.

I got nothing to help you with that, but I will say that Timbuk3 once put on a free show at NMSU way back when (and I honestly think it was due to a van breakdown) -- it remains the best concert I've ever attended in terms of sheer energy and joy. They Rocked.

I remember enjoying Head of the Class enough when I was a little kid and it was in syndication, but I also remember being so embarrassed for the cast in this cover of Timbuk3's "The Future's so Bright" that my eyes started tearing up and I had to turn off the TV.

Timbuk3 see the video
“Shame”
And all you had to do was lighten up your act!
A stairway to the stars -- a one-way ticket

Shame on you -- you have too much integrity
Respect!

"flaming fascist", so the song wouldn't be too heavy handed, but the best-laid schemes o' mice an' men gang aft agley. Listeners interpreted the song as a happy view of the future, probably because Timbuk3 made it a poppy dance track.

When my kids were young, I was amazed how easily they’d remember and love a song that mentioned animals—though usually more overtly and less metaphorically than “Will to Love.” Songs like Timbuk3’s “Facts About Cats” or Lyle Lovett’s “If I Had a Boat” (because of the pony) were on constant request.
