John is amazing. We both grew up on the East side of Buffalo, both the same age (11 days apart) I am so proud of him, and he deserves all the sucess he worked so hard for! 💯❤
Was Johnny as cool and nice as a kid even teen years. Was he as cool then as he seems now. He seems really mellow and doesnt come across smug or arrogant, AT ALL. He seems really down to earth.
I’m 19 & I just saw him live for the first time at Musikfest. He’s so handsome and talented - and classy and humble, which is so rare among performers. I Love his music and his story!!
I promoted a show with the Goo Goo Dolls at the OK Hotel in Seattle in the early '90's. At that time, they were a punk band. Long before the massive ballads. Glad they found success. A great band and great guys.
A solid point was made where it’s said that binge-watching films is focusing on the lives of others instead of focusing on your own life. And I think this is even more the case with sports in the present time, as you mentioned. I feel like if society put as much energy into introspection and helping their communities as they do the Dallas Cowboys and the Kardashians, then maybe we’d see more progress.
How can ya not love this human being ... he just keeps getting better and I'm so blessed to have had that connection with the music, writing/lyrics and as a vocalist ... I can't even put it into words truth be told.
@@DanSchawbel I would absolutely love to just sit and pick his brain. So many layers and truths. He moves about life speaking, singing and writing from his soul.
John talking about him and Robby falling in love was one of the most poignant, truest things I have ever heard. A wonderful life-long partnership, even if they do (on occasion) fight like cats and dogs. John said the following in an interview with Matt Wake last month (July 2023): "I’m better with Robby than I am on my own, and he’s better with me than he is on his own. Bearing that in mind that sort of tempers the arguments, you know?"
7:24 "mighta changed the name of the band to something better . . ." Hail no, goo goo dolls is a great band name! In any case, this guy is awesome. Johnny who? Original pronunciation of his last name Rzeźnik is "Zhezh-neek" (zh as in beige) [ˈʐɛʑɲik], Polish for "butcher".
