Darn!
I actually have some history with that band! We (the magazine) were trying to push them before they had the hit. (We were tight with the publicist.) So we obtained signed t-shirts that we planned to give away. But then they changed members so we had to get new signed t-shirts. Was very sad when lead singer Rich died in 2010. And I did love that song, in an guilty-pleasure sort of way.
Interesting! You had an eye for future hitmakers, I guess. Definitely a guilty pleasure. (Hey, that’d be a good theme for your next radio show, if anyone can stand to listen to guilty pleasures…)
I was a teen tour counselor the summer that song was out (I actually took a leave from work to do that) and it was a kind of unofficial song of the tour, along with “I Want It That Way.” The kids all wore way too much Aberchromie & Fitch.
