I posted this tweet the other night and it went lunar.

One of the videos that popped up while I was scouring, was this one of Blues Traveler.

And it knocked my socks off.

I posted that snippet on twitter and couldn’t believe the response.

Blues Traveler didnt just belong to the era of CDs and tapes- they were the heartbeat of it.

Their lead singer John Popper is one of one.

The guy wasnt just the lead singer, he was the bands soul.

I have a theory on why they, and bands like them, got somewhat overlooked.

Their music was everywhere.

In some ways, they got caught in a generation gap.

The music industry was changing, but the infrastructure to support those changes wasnt yet there.
