Where are all my Schoolhouse Rock fans? I might normally be concerned about isolating too small a demographic by citing a show that ended its first run in 1985, but I’m pretty sure CI skews a little older on the whole. Besides, some cultural touchstones transcend generational gaps. I feel like that’s the case for “Three Is a Magic Number,” which remains an iconic bop even if you don’t know where it came from.
Unfortunately for the Cubs, three is a number they’ve reached far too often in August. Or rather, it’s a number they’ve not exceeded often enough.
