Is anyone else a fan? This has to be my favorite band of all time.
Just curious if they still have fans...

They lost all musical ability once Popper lost the weight.

(kidding!)

The last CD of theirs I purchased was Straight On Till Morning which I didn't really dig too much. I kinda fell out after that. I saw them in concert a few times, they put on a great show! My all-time favorite disc by theirs is Save His Soul.

Oh, and I really loved two things about them. One, I loved the letters that John Popper would write in the BT newsletters. He was always a wonderful writer, very open and honest. And I loved how at their New Year's Eve show a while back, everybody was going to hold up signs asking them to play The Onslaught, and when they heard about it, they decided to open with it. Listening to your fans, and tricking them in the process, is really fucking awesome.

OK... first of all, Blues Traveller rocks. I admit, I started to like them when Four came out and there was all that hype about them and stuff - but can you blame me? I think I was in 5th grade. Nonetheless, I looked into their earlier music since my brother had a few albums and I got some of the later ones and have always liked them - even through their changing styles. (Granted, not huge changes, but there have definitely been some changes).

Haven't heard much from them recently, but thanks for reminding me to look and see if/when they have a new album coming out.

Secondly though, HOLY CRAP! He didn't just lose weight, he freakin LOST WEIGHT! I don't know how the hell he managed to pull that one off, but kudos to him - that's really awesome.

Blues Traveler has been one of the bands that I have enjoyed the most for the last 7 or 8 years. There is a lot there to respect! I especially have enjoyed seeing them live, though it has been a while.

I love Four, but I haven't heard much after that.

I worked at the Saratago Race Course during the 1996 meet. Anyway, one of the cool things about working at the track was seeing the deferent celebs who were there. One afternoon they announced that John Popper would do the call to the post for the feature race. It was amazing to hear that done with the harmonica. Got a huge roar from the crowd too.
