OK, if you try to say that you didn't just love Hootie and the Blowfish back in the day, you're just wrong. Granted, "Let Her Cry" got way too much air time, but aside from that, this was good stuff. I think they're still kicking somewhere and I need to research that.....
Those of us who really liked the band know that Darius Rucker is not, nor has he ever been "Hootie." And the band isn't "Blowfish." They derived their name based on schoolmates-- one of whom wore glasses.....
Anyway, imagine my surprise yesterday as I was getting my fake bake on in the tanning bed: I was listening to whatever country station they had on at the time. I miss out sometimes on the newest music because I usually listen to The Pulse on Sirius. Anyway, a decent if not too memorable song came on and then at the end the DJ informed listeners that this was Darius Rucker's new track, "Don't Think I Don't Think About It." Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Willis? OK, I go blind.
Sure enough. Darius has gone country and his new album is coming out in the fall.
What's next? Kid Rock doing opera??
It's all good, though. We shouldn't box people in. And I kind of like Darius so I hope he does well.
Incidentally, cheers to me for now having 10 sales on Etsy. Don't worry, I won't forget the little people. 
No response to “Hootie Who?”
