Happy b’day Darius Rucker, who in 1994 had been with Hootie for 8 yrs — when Letterman heard their new song & booked them.
“It was the moment our career changed .. On Thurs, we were just another band trying to make it. Saturday morning, everybody was trying to find a Hootie & the Blowfish record.”

A win-win for everyone!
So hard to crack the US market, and love that I Go Blind took off.

So many great songs and I’ve generally been more album track vs single with my top tracks.
Internet thirst trap hos arent a thing any more
They were fabulous!
A great evening made even better by them encouraging everyone to register to vote
What a decade.
Got oversaturated, especially with ESPN, and so there was backlash, but it was good, fun music. Just not metal or grunge, so many rejected it.
Stop doing this to me.
1994 were better days.
Great band. Thx for flashback
I was working at 42nd street oyster bar in Raleigh this night. Everyone stopped to watch in awe.
WAGON WHEEL.

I still think of ‘I’m not Hootie” from 🔽
Happy birthday Darius!
I don’t know if it holds up, but it has stuck with me (and.. it’s been true with kids I’ve watched grow, so maybe)
No more buying an album and playing it to your mates.
Artists now stuck on social media trying to generate exposure, clicks and downloads.
Its a lot easier to *make* music, but a lot harder to make any money out of it.
I said *feels* different
Not just a list, a deeper experience that’s harder to quantify. That some change looks external, but is internal
And I get you’re upset, & you have every right.
But this is about your internal life, not external
It’s certainly harder, if not impossible, to feel right now…. that’s kind of why I’m sharing this idea / option
Take care
