Hootie freakin' rocks, man. I take a lot of shit for loving them at this station, and it's about time I set the record straight. Yes, this site is normally reserved for sports blogs, but Hootie transcends that label. Have some heartache? Hootie. First day of summer with the windows down? Hootie. Ready to have a most righteous party? Hootie. Why is it so cool to hate on one of America's greatest musical treasures? It's unjust. Here's a more in-depth look at the beauty of the Blowfish:

I'm qualifying this blog post under sports because the music video incorporates not only SportsCenter, but the Swami, too. What a goddamn classic. The song that made Hootie, Hootie. Encapsulating Darius' emotional turmoil with the Dolphins' lack of success, probably something about an old Bob Dylan song, and most definitely yelling about wanting to be with somebody. Never has a song deserved so many drunken karaoke runs. This is just a sample platter, folks. Wait for the main course.
Let Her Cry (1994) - Emotional Journey Contd.
