Most bands that were around in 1986 have come and gone. A lot of trends came and went. Through it all, the Goo Goo Dolls have been able to survive and stay relevant. They grew beyond their influences, and spent their lives creating and performing great songs. At the end of the day, that's what it's all about - songs.

So as trends come and go, or when the world gets caught up in the latest celebrity gossip, there will always be people hungry for songs that speak to them. Those are the people the Goo Goo Dolls are talking to: the Rest of Us.
