Barron on the solo tour: "This solo project is really about learning and just expressing the broadness of my musicality. Because as a composer and a lyricist, I can’t fit everything I do into the Spin Doctors.”
You nerds are pretty much the only thing in the world that could come close to giving me FOMO for missing a Chris Barron solo show. But even then just barely.

Chris Barron was one of the most prominent dudes from the early 1990s who made it seem normal to grow a gross-ass beard. Here I am circa 1993 wearing a bucket hat that had been autographed by the Spin Doctors' rhythm section.
that's what I say now!

i love that Jimmy Olsen is carrying around a pocketful of kryptonite like he doesn't realize it affects non-Kryptonian humans in harmful ways too.

I’ll note that I saw exactly 0 of the show and heard none of the above details bc I was working in a different part of the building. I always walk thru venue to leave and that’s when my interaction described above occurred. I hope he isn’t reading this?

Personally I feel like the world needs more Behind the Music-style details, not fewer. Inquiring minds want to know about the inner life of the head Spin Doctor.
aka Chief of Medicine at Spintown Memorial.
If only we knew as much about the making of, say, Cracked Rear View or Gordon.

I was just talking to my teenage kid about how Spin Doctors are one of the most startling passages from absolutely ubiquitous to completely forgotten.

pretty much by their second studio album, too.
I got Turn It Upside Down on release date and I really feel like the only song I heard on the radio was "You Let Your Heart Go Too fast" and that was only around the week it was released.
