51. Harry Chapin died tragically young, only 38 in 1981. But John Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls

Sep 2022

is ALMOST 60...well, he'll be 57 in December.

And I did post about the German band Die Toten Hosen above, even though only two of the band's four members have reached 60, hitting that age during their 40th anniversary tour this past summer.

And Sky Jewels posted about Johnny Marr, who's 58, in reply 26.

So yes, the Goo Goo Dolls are old enough.

Besides, I really love "Iris."

Video here of Rzeznik with Daryl Hall on an episode of Live from Daryl's House in 2011:
