[@tooley6969]

Something about accepting his fate as Darius Hootie after paying off loans.

[@michaelaldo8139]

basically how he gave the band a name that insinuated he is Hootie but he is definitely not Hootie and the guys playing in the band are definitely not blowfish.

Darius Rucker will always be one of my favorite singers. His voice still gives me chills. Not into country music but Hootie and the Blowfish made some incredible songs. Time....wish he would come back to it.

I'm trying to find one Hootie's best songs...it goes something like: "Don't go with my friends no more, don't want to hold your hand no more..." 100% Hootie!!!

The first thing he did when he came into money was to pay off his student loan, before buying a car. Paying off debts before indulging. Smart lesson for young people today.

[@777sweett777]

What do you think the SECOND thing he spent his money on? LOL!!! We are all flawed humans in some way or another. That is all.

[@angelking3708]

pissoff61 That is the most sterotypical statement I've ever heard. That's not right man.

[@garrymiller3171]

Most people don't come into money that way. Plus I bet his student loans were a lot smaller then today. Not a good comparison. But let's keep ignoring the corporations and the filthy rich in this country writing their own tax laws and refuse to pay their fair share

I know he needs to just understand that his name is Darius Hootie now and he may not have planned it but consequences. He can still give his wife and kids Rucker if he doesn't want them to be the coolest SOBs ever but when all is said and done Hootie will be the title of his gravestone.

However, I must confess to some confusion here, since the original comment to which I replied is no longer there, so I have no idea what I was replying to. I know - for a fact - that the comment that is now there (about Darius being a cool guy) is NOT the one that I responded to, nor is it the same name, which you might notice..?

@@brianaugello3724 Well, I really can't say whether or not I agree with you, since the comment to which I replied no longer seems to be there. And since you're response came about 9 months after mine, do YOU know what comment I was replying to? 'Cause I don't...

[@arekpetrosian4965]

@JohnnyMavers Oh, HELL NO!! I love Darius Rucker! His music, his personality, etc. I've been to his concerts, and will go again at the drop of a hat. In fact, dropping the hat isn't even necessary, I'm going. Like I said, I don't remember what comment I replied to, but it was by "Practical Werewolf"(?), whose comment I don't see any more. Maybe he deleted it? I do, however, mostly agree with Robert Lane's comment, but I would say that Rucker is ONE OF the coolest guys on the planet. Keanu Reeves is pretty cool, too. Not sure who would be THE coolest. So, simple misunderstanding, and no apology needed. I can see how you might have thought what you did. Just glad that we cleared it up.
