...last drop, the Goo Dolls included "Iris" in their new album, Dizzy Up the Girl. While other bands might fear that such a conspicuous track might trap buyers into assuming that the other songs on the disc were of the same style (how many of you bought Blind Melon in the hopes that every song would be sound like "No Rain?"), John Rzeznik and company confront the supposedly dangerous supposition with shameless affirmation.
