what i like about hootie's voice is that it sounds so much like eddie vedder, only without the fussy sociopolitical angst nonsense. the beatles totally missed that train, which is why i won't play their records at barbecues. | |

i'm so sick of old people and their Stones vs. Beatles debate! who cares?! it was like a thousand years ago! the Hootie vs. Blues Traveller debate is the one that people are going to be talking about 50 years from now.

Beatles music makes my khakis wrinkled, from all the moving around. Hootie keeps me wrinkle-free. "The world of the heterosexual is a sick and boring life. " -- Edith Massey in Female Trouble | |

The obvious Hootie love in the Org makes me love y'all even more.
I will personally tell Hootie next time I see him. All good things they say never last... | |

Let's look at album titles. Revolver? Please! Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band? What the hell is that. You want brilliant?
Cracked Rear View It is an extremely clever commentary on the fragility of life...how our past looks through jaded eyes and appears to be fractured in some way. It is also a very clever butt joke. Dual meanings. That's the kind of clever crap Hootie does. All good things they say never last... | |

I think that brilliance crosses all lines of time and space. I believe that Thoreau was grooving out to "Fairweather Johnson", Hootie's equally brilliant sequel to "Cracked Rear View" when he was on Walden Pond. That is why he was so chill.

Yesterday, I saw you standing there
Your head was down, your eyes were red No comb had touched your hair  "Todo está bien chévere" Stevie | |

Your head was down, your eyes were red No comb had touched your hair It's not so much the words as the emotion and pure saliva in Hootie/Darius's throat that makes the words fly. All good things they say never last... | |

GottaLetitgo said: I am so over my Wham! phase. Now I have decided that, as great as Wham! was, there is a group out there that has had even more impact on my life, as well as on the lives of all of us, historically and musically speaking. I am talking about Columbia, SC's own Hootie and the Blowfish.
Laugh all you want, scoff if you will, but damn it, name a band that is better at southern fried rock than the Blowfish. Name a group who has delivered more insightful lyrics, who has changed the fabric of scoiety as we know it. Sure there were the Beatles but, you know really, besides 8 or 10 really good albums, what the hell did they do? Did they make your toes tap? Did they have three back to back Top 10 hits as revolutionary as "Hold My Hand", "Let Her Cry", and "Only Wann Be With You". Hell no. You can have Paul McCartney. I'll take my main man Dean Felber. And Ringo has got nothing on Soni Sonnenfeld. And make me laugh by comparing John Lennon with Hootie. Hootie Rules!  Hi Letitgo! Where have you been? 
BTW, Yoko Ono would kill you for taking Lennon's name in vain!!!  | |

I've been hanging out in General Discussion for the most part but I decided to come back to my roots, which is discussing the legends of music. And as for Yoko...well, actually I have nothing too much to say about her. She's pretty damn good too. All good things they say never last... | |

And for those of you who have been org noting me about this, no, I don't know what "Tucker's Town" means or do I find any of the lyrics the slightest bit intelligible. But the soulful tones of Darius/Hootie make me want to drive to Tucker's Town right now. All good things they say never last... | |
