The Goo Goo Dolls came to the Sound Advice Amphitheater this past weekend and played to a huge crowd – with all the seats sold, but still some room where they could have packed people on the lawn. But who really likes the lawn?
The show had one of those “wow” moments for me. Almost 10 years ago, I was in the same place watching the same band perform. That made me 10 years old – that is half of my life ago!
It really got me thinking about how much time has changed, and that they are only band (which is still together) that I would actually say I still like and enjoy.
Can anyone think of something when they were 10 that they still enjoy?
Don’t get me wrong, I loved cartoons – I was a major Hey Arnold! fan. Unfortunately, there is no time for that now, and Arnold and crew have slowly faded away along with their reruns.
“Let Love In”
Now with a new CD, Let Love In, the Goo Goo Dolls are still making their way into pop culture. But why are they one of the only few that are still standing?
Maybe it's because they write, play and perform their own songs, which proves that there will always be a place in people’s hearts for singing/songwriting rockers. Or maybe it’s because their music was open to all age groups, so it can transcend time?
Who knows. Maybe it’s time for a Backstreet Boys reunion tour – we've already got the Spice Girls together again.
Another shocking thing that I discovered at the show was that the lead singer, Johnny Rzeznik, turns 42 this year. I almost passed out. He doesn’t look a day over 35!
But a lot has changed in 10 years: people aged and music changed. I guess I just have to take every little thing that is left from my childhood and try to hold on to them as long as I can.
Good bye Arnold! I will miss you!
