Sugar Ray C/D?

But now those kids are listening to their parents music.

I stopped going to a bar because they always had a cover band that did the Sugar Ray/Cake/M20/etc. '90s set but all in the style of Sublime.

Wow, I can't believe I was so spot-on with the half-joking fictional scenario I painted. And yet I'm still disappointed at myself for leaving Sublime out of the mix.

90s cover bands in the Sugar Ray/Cake/M20 nexus are very easy to find on a Friday night in my small american city

(I think I was basing this upon my own experience wherein the last act I saw in my own midwestern college town before leaving in '07 was a RHCP cover band.)

Yes, one of the more important implicit points here is that Sugar Ray came into existence a quarter century ago. Please, let's all meditate upon that fact.

not enough new jamminess on the radio, what can you expect really

one thing I remember growing up is that 60s & 70s nostalgia was very popular, during summer vacation I'd watch old Hanna-Barbara cartoons, Gilligan's Island, and game shows like The Price is Right that were rooted in a bygone era. obviously it was very clear that this stuff was supposed to appeal to your parents but it was pretty much all that was on outside of infomercials and soap operas.

nowadays when I go work out there's always a station playing Friends, which is as old today as Happy Days was when I was growing up, and I wonder if there's a whole generation of kids watching this and chuckling whenever they see like, a landline phone or something.

recently I hosted a poker game & made a playlist of tunes that I figured the other guys would appreciate, when playing it back it kinda struck me that a lot of the stuff I picked was either from the 90s or had a lot of the same hallmarks as that music. and yeah one of the songs I picked was "Someday" which I figured was a bit corny but that was the one that made people sit up and go, "holy shit, Sugar Ray! I used to love this song!" and yeah that's when I realized a huge chunk of your personality is forever gonna be attached to whatever was popular when you were 12

One of my strongest teenage memories is the beach trip my friends and I took post-high school graduation, where I must have heard "Someday" like 6+ times over those few days. It perfectly captured the mix of joy and melancholy I was feeling as I spent the last couple months with my closest friends before we all went different ways. I couldn't come up with a bigger cliche. so frogbs otm

Question adjacent to the threads of discussion currently ongoing: did Mark McGrath come out of the womb looking like that, and is it safe to assume that he will still look like that when he is technically if not visibly elderly?

At first I thought that was a young Mark McGrath imitator or something, and it was part of the joke. Not a 50 year old. The hair! I want to see it in 4k.

yeah he's got the waxy Ray Liotta/Papa John look going now

But not even, really! He's just always looked like he was in his mid-to-late 30s imo.

Lmao this is gonna be his new career

Did he get his nostrils waxed

Getting a bit of Michael Jackson nose there

"There is no 'me' in 'team'. There's no 'I' either. There might be a 'me'"

This felt very Trumpian
