...indeed, the band's cheeky but wholesome appeal is not dissimilar to the early, hand-holding Beatles'. Detractors basically agree with this characterization. But they find the straightforward, seemingly optimistic nature of the band's music profoundly, aggressively boring and see the group's goofy, Dan Marino-in-a-cameo videos as shamelessly unironic throwbacks to the don't-worry-be-happy aesthetic of the '80s. Matters won't be helped any by the new album's packaging, which includes an order form for merchandise like Hootie golf balls and beer cozies...
...first year the Pillsbury Bake-Off prize shot up to $1 million--and a man won it. Women have only themselves to blame for this. Sleep deprived, they accepted help in the kitchen.

...Crockett on guitar and Dwight Hart on drums. It would be much more enjoyable -- and sensible -- to hear the trio play for an hour without the interference of the play's pseudo-narrative and the ridiculous fumbling of the weak cast, especially the offensive Miss Futorian in an inane cameo as a white store owner who launches inexplicable tirades against the black band members...
