Blues Traveler was fortunate to open up for a Rolling Stones Tour and at one time, Popper asked Keith if he would ask Mick if he would agree to play harp with him on stage. Mick's answer: Like battling harmonicas? I don't think so, and he plays too many notes. Well summed up, Mick.

sorry, BAD analogy. Trent Green would not make the HOF because he didn't have achievements that are measurable. You say John Popper wouldn't "make it" because of your personal opinion. I don't like Tom Brady, but that doesn't mean he isn't a phenomenal player. You prefer slow, John still rocks, bad analogy is bad. |

I just got to listen to nearly an HOUR of 2 guys with backpack leafblowers outside the office window completely drowning out the RP tunes and the first song that comes back on is THIS fat guy blowing spit through a mouth harp? Bejeezus H. Christ it's really too much for one man to bear...

Not true in my case. I like lots of bands that are all over FM to this day. Blues Traveller just sucks.

Good tune.
They had their place, but you're right. It became the same old, same old after a while. |
