Wow he sure did lose weight. That is dangerous surgery though, a friend of mine had to get it done for medical reasons not obesity years ago. His biggest complaint was the size of meals he had to limit himself to...about a small muffins worth of food at one sitting that is all the room he had left in his stomach after the surgery.
The more I listen to this band the more I like them. Found a gem the other day as well, 4 legendary blues harmonica players on a Telarc recording. Have to give that one a spin ASAP.
Blues Traveler is definitely one of my favorite bands... Oh I'll add, from the 90's.
Their first few albums were pure jams. Then the "Hook" happened. Now I won't equate what happened to BT with the Hook to let's say ...J.Geils Band's "Centerfold" but... I'm sure one could. I've interpreted Hook as an explanation from Popper that if they don't put out a hip 3 minute diddy they are going to starve or worse yet get a 9 to 5.
Blues Traveler has one of the best break-up songs of all time... (Helped me through a rough one... or made it worse)
Now most break-up songs are geared towards chicks. Another of my favorite bands to come out of the 90's, The Bloodhound Gang, IMO have the best male break-up song of all time.
"If I want to be repeatedly S#!t on I'll go make Dutch porn"
The 4th studio album, and their breakthrough album, "Four", was released in 1994. This album contains their hit song "Run-Around".
As mentioned in the posts above, "Hook", was also another mainstream song off this album. This album went multi-platinum and definitely saved the band from starvation.
