We travel back in time when “A Boy Named Goo” was all the rage and the Goo Goo Dolls were reborn from the infamous 1994 year, as the latter led them very close to irrevocable disbanding. Contributor Bailey has some never-before-seen pictures to share with us.

Wish You Were Here (Live, 2001) [Second Version]
We approach contributor Christina‘s last releases from the latest batch she forwarded a while ago with another live performance, this time recorded in 2001 for a very important cause.
Continue reading “Wish You Were Here (Live, 2001) [Second Version]”The Curious Podcast of George Tutuska
Joe and Jessica are back at it again with their AI-generated opinions, courtesy of Google’s NotebookLM technology. This time, they have a vivid discussion about none other than former drummer and original member of the band George Tutuska.
The Temple Of Goo articles used as references, which were fed into NotebookLM, are:
- The main blog post about George and his pivotal role in the Goo Goo Dolls (one of the most-read articles in the Temple, which keeps getting new reads on a daily basis)
- The story about the original album cover for “A Boy Named Goo”
As always, don’t take all the info we present here, both using our posts and the podcast itself, at face value. Some of it is indeed factual, other stuff is speculation and logical connections.
The podcast may get a couple of things wrong here and there. The technology is still under heavy development.
PLEASE NOTICE: The podcast kind of ends abruptly. All it was missing was just the goodbyes from the speakers anyway.
Name (Live At MTV Ultimate Winter Vacation, 1995)

Here we go again with another podcast, courtesy of the AI technology behind NotebookLM. This time, Joe and Jessica delve into the role of Laurie Farinacci, John Rzeznik’s former wife with whom the Goo Goo Dolls’ lead singer shared a home for five years (1993-1997), along with many songwriting adventures, apparently.
As a reminder, the podcast may contain a couple of mistakes here and there, and it basically summarizes in a two-person-discussion fashion the contents present in the following posts:
- Main post about Laurie Farinacci
- Some info about the origins of “Iris“
- John’s insights about his relationship with Laurie
- A 1996 article
Don’t forget that a lot of the stuff, both in the aforementioned posts and podcast, is the result of speculations coming from fans.
The podcast is 12 minutes long and can be listened to by clicking on the video below:
