I think you missed the clues in the video. He’s in “the friend zone” with the music industry. Dorothy Gale (wizard of Oz) couldn’t get into the club because she doesn’t meet the age requirements for the club, so she and tin man, scarecrow and lion are trying to sneak in. John Popper doesn’t meet the aesthetic expectations of the music industry so they require him to play behind the curtain while they have a fake act outside that the fans think is the real deal, while John Popper is the man behind the curtain. Popper was a large man and did not fit into what music execs wanted to package…and sexy little Dorothy and her friends just wanted to hear him play, but were prevented from doing so by the velvet rope bouncer and the music exec. The coffee tea line was after a line about how he has to be happy with whatever is in his cup… Great song, great video. My favorite blues traveler one.

Never mind, I’m wrong about the song meaning according to Wikipedia “The song tells of the relationship Popper had with original bass player Felicia. Popper had a crush on her, but was worried because they also shared a close friendship.[6] According to guitarist Chan Kinchila the two still remained close friends after the events of the songs.[6] She was also the subject of a later song, "Felicia"”

Yes, he does put a lot of humor and sarcasm in his lyrics. You already reacted to "Hook", which is another example of that. Even in one of their songs that's supposed to be a tear jerker, there's a line "Is there a line to write that could make you cry tonight?"

I went to a club in Manhattan sometime in the 80's called Wetlands. There was a band playing that I had never heard of. I thought the harmonica player was amazing, the best I had ever heard. Of course, it was Blues Traveller, with John Popper playing the harmonica. I was happy when they broke with this song.

@Spazzmatazzz 2 года назад

I've played harmonica for 59 years and it never fails! People (or band members) will ask, "Can you do any Blues Traveler songs? My answer? NO! Nobody can play like John Popper. That's his own style and that's why you don't see Blues Traveler cover bands. I actually TRIED to play like that, and it was just wasted time.

One night in 1989, my band "Spears Arrows" was the opening act at The Paradise club in Boston. Another local band, "Crab Daddy" was after us then the headliner...a band from NYC that none of us had heard of. After we did our set we were backstage in our dressing room drinking a case of beer that our roadie procured "somewhere" and rolling spliffs...all of a sudden a big fat guy walks in and says "Smells great in here!"...so naturally we shared some of our beers and got him and his band properly stoned. When they had to go on we stayed in the dressing room and continued to party with Crab Daddy. Then we heard them. Blues Traveler. Minds blown.

I saw Blues Traveler and Phish at an outdoor concert in Vermont, a ski resort in the middle of summer. It was epic, the '90s were so much fun! Think you were spot on about the Hollywood side of this song. The band on stage in the video is NOT Blues Traveler, they are a front. The band is playing behind the curtain, the girl is wearing ruby red slippers like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. The little dog Toto exposes the real band playing. This is a dig on Hollywood and the music industry which is more interested in selling looks than talent. They called the lead singer of Blues Traveler, John Popper, the biggest man in music because he was obese...

@@firefighterchick I worry at times for our responders as it can be such a dangerous job, but I assume an exhilarating experience at the same time! I’m heading for the Rockies on 9-3 with my daughters and grandkids, so can’t wait to get out of this heat wave (Oklahoma). You be safe!

Saw them open for the Stones in the late 90s and they did great. I was not familiar with them at that time. Opening for the Stones would be intimidating for any band.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain…

@baitse7676 2 года назад

He's singing about his pizza not getting delivered within 30 minutes. That's why it's a blues song

Definitely give "Hook" and "But Anyway" a try! Excellent songs by blues traveler. Nevermind, I just saw you guys already did hook haha

Every time I hear this I think of my favorite episode of “Roseanne” which had them on playing this song.

@deniseriley6622 2 года назад

Like others have mentioned the lead singer is John Popper. He's the big guy behind the curtain murdering the Harmonica. Definitely check out " Hook "

Go back and look at Chicago Bulls games from their heyday. John Popper was always sitting in the first two rows behind one of the baskets in Chicago. With the hat on but not the harmonica bandoleros ;-)
