Month: March 2023

This is a quick post to celebrate the fact that Temple Of Goo has been browsed for more than 10,000 times.

We are International! Check some cool statistics below in terms of which countries Goo Goo Dolls fans visit us from. (Sorry about that black bar kinda striking-through Croatia, I tried screenshotting it many times but for whatever reason my software keeps on adding it on to the picture… Also, some countries have been highlighted in blue. Not sure why…).

And lastly, below are the three most read posts as of March 2023.

1. The Curious Case Of George Tutuska — I’m very happy that Goo fans have finally taken a more thorough interest in George, and I’m honored to have helped the cause with my little contribution. Not the “mere drummer” anymore, never has been. George is getting the recognition he deserves. Read this post carefully to learn how his precious efforts helped the band shape the majority of the best songs (and visual contents) in their catalog. This article far exceeds the other two in terms of total views.
2. Girl right next to me, will you tell ’em your name and think about me? — Another post which focuses on a specific person that had a relationship with the band. John’s ex-wife Laurie Farinacci has surprisingly had a profound influence on the Goo Goo Dolls, during the time she was married to the singer… and even after. Today, Laurie is a notable professional in her field in her native Buffalo, NY. Why is her name important? Well… it has to do with… “Name“…
3. Superstar Car Wash: Trivia And Curiosities — The band’s fourth effort was supposed to take them to stardom… but it didn’t. “Superstar Car Wash” is one, if not THE, most loved Goo Goo Dolls album. After many years since its release, we now have a deeper understanding of its multifaceted nature. Read this post to learn all of the info and insights we’ve been able to uncover so far.

As a final note: Thanks to all of you users for being a dedicated group of people who have been following us for so long. We have more releases coming in the near future.

Don’t forget to talk to us if you feel like it, and as always keep in mind that we are not a closed system: help is always welcome.
