      He shouldn't have to defend his music. If someone doesn't like someone's music, fine...move on. There's lots to choose from. I wish him well. And look at him w/his beautiful dog! 💓🎵🐕

    My kids grew up in the 1990s. They played 14:59 so much I learned all the songs. It reminds me of happy summers in Southern California. That album alone was worth it. LA Times has always been snotty. I give them no credit. His kids will be proud to have such a cool dad. That’s all just a toxic environment dealing with the record companies. The Rolling Stones and Beatles are 1960s bands. They’re nostalgia. Like Jimmy Buffett, although different genres, Sugar Ray brings you to a happy place.

    I also miss the tangible side of the industry. Album artwork alone was something worth waiting for. I also miss playing a whole album because it was just too much hassle to get up and change it. lol. that and you wanted to get the feel of the entire album. So much so that sometimes even to this day if I hear a song from what I consider a concept album, then I almost feel incomplete not hearing the song that comes right after.

    I've always absolutely loved this band! From Floored to In the Pursuit of Leisure......that 4 album stint was amazing and I don't care what anybody says they absolutely had talent.
    I will always be a fan of those 4 albums and will always give them credit for defining sounds of the late 90s early 2000s......and I look at that nostalgia In a very positive light.
    I so wish he would continue his touring with other bands from that era......we had the pleasure of seeing them play with Soul Asylum, Smash mouth and others .....it was awesome!

And when my daughter gets old enough i'll let her listen too them because she's only 8,1/2 months old. but Sugar ray is amazing. the 90's was AMAZING!!. and I still lay in bed at night and remeber all the god memories back then compared too now. Where's the time machine? let me go back!!. i cherish the memories. I also had many friends die from drug use. If your struggling PLEASE seek help. Its not worth it. It will always catch up.

    Tragic? These guys put out four records in a row that had at least one #1 hit. Literally got to open for The Rolling Stones. All 5 of the original band members are alive, and involved in music one one way or another. The original bassist, Murphy Karges, has a bass ass YT @BassWithMurf. Stan, drums, is a restauranteur. The sound faded, that’s all. It took acts like Sugar Ray, 311, and GLove with them. I still dig it.

Lord knows some of the garbage crap that other bands, including many hip hop groups of the 90s, were somehow considered "music" at the time; why did they get a free pass when compared to Sugar Ray? Oh Lord, he gave a nod to Mike Tyson in one of his songs. Heaven forbid!
