When I was 7/8 in 94 I first heard "Only Wanna Be With You" by Hootie & The Blowfish. It led to me getting their album Cracked Rear View on cassette and playing it a ton. But times change, it kinda became a meme to joke about ol' Hootie and his Blowfish. I put them away. I laughed at the fact I liked them, it was just boring rock for suburban dads. Early 2000s arrive and now I'm into pop-punk, emo, post-hardcore. But the past week I've been going back and just re-experiencing stuff from the 80s-90s that I liked, a lot of stuff I had put aside or just engaged with as a 1 hit wonder without really putting any thought into. So on Youtube I ended up watching H&TB's videos for "Let Her Cry" and "Hold My Hand" and of course the song that got me into them, and you know what? It's good fun. Darius has a great voice. He sounds great on "Let Her Cry" especially. I went on Spotify and listened to Cracked Rear View for the first time in like 25+ years. It's good. (it's still kinda goofy but who gives a fuck)
