In reply to mrfool. That was my very first concert, and I was your same age. I consider that a quintessential early 90's lineup.

In reply to Turd on the Run. Perhaps of the early 90s. They were all over the place at the time.

Can confirm Two Princes still getting plenty of radio play. Heard it at the barbershop today. “Driver’s License” into “Two Princes.” But will we be hearing Olivia Rodrigo jams in 2050?

In reply to osufan77. I like to play a game on text with some friends re: news headlines called Is It Real Or Is It The Onion? Yes, this headline was perfect for that.

One more? Must be in dude’s contract that no jurno is to mention career killer song “Cleopatra’s Cat” or the Q Tip For the World” LP. Worse sophomore slump ever. Unless article did but too much yo process.

In reply to mrfool. Is your first name Aintno, cuz that’d be wild.

That was unexpected. Can’t stand jam bands in general, but this dude has an interesting career arc. I still wouldn’t know who he or Glen Phillips would be if I just saw those names in the wild though.

I didn’t read all of it but I hope Chris mentions, at least once, what huge hits “Two Princes” and “Little Miss Can’t Be Wong” were.

I created an account on here after years and years of lurking to tell a quick story. When I was 13, my father took me to see The Spin Doctors, Screaming Trees, and Soul Asylum (there’s a 90s bill for ya). My dad worked for a radio station and we got backstage. The only band hanging out after the show was the Spin Doctors, and they were all super cool. They gently teased me about my first name, signed my shirt, and generally made me feel like the coolest kid in the world. Glad to hear Chris is still at it and doing so well!

Too much to snark on, my brain just shut down. Actually, my brain shut down after the tour with the singer of Toad the Wet Sproket, bc who else would he tour with?
