    My favorite Blues Traveler song is the one where John Popper plays the shit out of the harmonica

    Ironically, I always liked this song even though I didn't know the lyrics. The hook always brought me back.

    Howard Stern: I could listen to that all day.
    Blues Traveler: Yeah that's the point.

    I understand the irony of the song and how he made a popular song by doing exactly what he criticizes other popular songs of doing. But it does help that he could sing an owner’s manual and make it sound beautiful. Popper is so talented
