I don’t attach the Goo Goo Dolls to one night in my life. They’ve been in the passenger seat since a Musician Magazine compilation handed me “We Are the Normal.”
There are bands I associate with moments.
Jimmy Eat World will always bring me back to 9/11.
Third Eye Blind can drop me into the strange freedom of graduating college.
Big Head Todd & The Monsters?
There was that kidney stone incident.
But the Goo Goo Dolls are different.
I don’t associate them with a moment because they’ve been part of all of them. They have been riding shotgun for more than 30 years.
My passenger.
My ride or die.
If you really want to understand me, you probably have to get to know the Goo Goo Dolls first.
