I can't believe I'm internet friends with the guy who named the Hootie and the Blowfish fanclub

Is it Hootieville

2nd guy from the right regularly goes to Thailand to "sightsee."

Other 3 are normal people.

The guy in the right recently spent a portion of his biweekly paycheck on a pretty decent remote control airplane

I loved their Fairweather Johnson album. So when the discussion came up I suggested True Fan Johnson. I haven’t followed it actively since, but at the time it was picked up on, and used as the fan club name. On google today I’ve seen a few references to it, as that’s how Hootie fans refer to themselves.

So I read that post at 4am after the kiddo woke us up. Kinda half awake half asleep. I went back to bed with the phrase "true fan Johnson" swirling around my head until I drifted back off to dreamland.

I remember seeing Bad Religion open for Pearl Jam in 2009 and thinking that they just looked like regular folks when I expected spiked hair and leather.

They looked super old and regular.

They always looked like a bunch of dads. Even back in the Suffer days

Three very normal looking guys.

they look like they all went through a mid life crisis 15 years ago, and just kept with it

It’s a lot of guys to make punk rock. I definitely relate to the aesthetic sadly, only probably 15 years younger?

I feel like Pearl Jam is a great answer.

Didn’t realize Sheldon Cooper was in Bad Religion.
