I loved them in high school and still listen to them today. Their whole Elektra catalog got reissued as a 3CD set a few years ago with a bunch of bonus live tracks and whatnot.

Baird is married and does not drink alcohol. During tours, Baird can often be found exercising in hotel gyms. According to Baird's blog on MySpace, he met Neil Young in a hotel gym locker room late one night. This provided Baird with an opportunity to make amends for his ineptness during a noisy backstage meeting the night before. The two discussed guitars and amplifiers, and Young complimented Baird on his music.

I saw the post-Baird lineup play a concert immediately after an Arena Football game in early '99.
If that box set seems like possible overkill, the old single disc Let It Rock is dirt cheap & killer.

In 1988, the band recorded a cover of The Swinging Blue Jeans' 1964 hit "Hippy Hippy Shake" for the movie Cocktail.[1]
Oh yeah, I had forgotten all about this. So there's a second song I know.

Otis Gibbs has a couple of good interviews with Dan Baird up on the Youtube. Dan Baird's Telecaster that he played in the Georgia Satellites when they got big he actually got off of Steve Marriott when he lived in Atlanta. Otis has a bunch of good interviews up, but these are recommended if curious.
