Robby Takac of the Goo Goo Dolls joins Rocking With Jam Man for a wide-ranging conversation that goes well beyond the usual greatest-hits interview.
With the Goo Goo Dolls celebrating four decades, a Buffalo History Museum exhibit putting the band’s story on display, new music still arriving, and the newly announced Borrowed covers collection giving fans another look at the music that helped shape the band, Robby had plenty to talk about.
Jam Man digs into the parts of the story that usually get skipped: what it feels like to see your own life turned into museum history while you are still actively making it, the decisions and mistakes that helped shape the Goo Goo Dolls’ career, how Robby looks back on the band’s early years from the other side of massive success, and what it means to hear younger artists now borrowing from a band that once borrowed from its own heroes.
The conversation also gets into Summer Anthem, the creative road ahead for the Goo Goo Dolls, the new Borrowed project, Buffalo legend Lance Diamond, Music Is Art, the band’s hometown FeedMore WNY benefit shows, the possibility of taking that charitable idea to a much bigger Buffalo room with affordable tickets, and Robby’s memories of a famously rough Howard Stern appearance.
