This was a thing, a real and popular thing, in the early 90s.
Damn, that's a good point. The 90s were awesome.

It was a Clinton of a decade, yes.

No! Bad, Sparky, bad! Sit in the corner until your mother and I figure out which military school you're being sentenced to!

Usually the headline is the best bit in stuff like this, but the body on this one is also quite good.

Ha, lots of good lines. I especially enjoyed this: "said Beck, who was voted People Magazine’s #1 Person Who Kinda Looks Okay in a Fedora Sometimes."
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

For reasons inexplicable to me I checked out the wikipedia on Matchbox 20 and learned that they started out years earlier as Tabitha's Secret and, sure enough, there's old moldy early-to-mid-90s footage of proto-matchbox 20:


Some real crap.

Cool that the previous members that didn’t join MB20 still got songwriting credits for the hit “3AM.”
