One Hit.

[Rev. Rye]

This is one of my all-time favourite songs.





Apparently, Gregg Alexander decided to break the band up before they even released their second single, partly because he got tired of touring pretty quickly, partly because he claimed he had accomplished all his goals for the record, and partly because he "lost interest in fronting a 'One Hit Wonder' to the point that [he] was wearing a hat while performing so that people wouldn't see [his] lack of enthusiasm." Though how he expected to be anything but a one-hit wonder if the band broke up before they even released their second single, I don't know. And it's all the more surprising considering that that second single was still pretty good:





Although, apparently, the record label didn't have hopes much higher for the song, at least if the fake lyrics in the liner notes of the title song of "Maybe You've Been Brainwashed, Too" were any indication: "So hip, so young, so full of shit. The studio told us to shut up and write another hit." So, he ended up doing so -- for other artists, like Santana and Ronan Keating.

The band finally reunited a few months ago for the Biden inauguration:



And with that, it became clear that the Biden administration was already giving the world a more positive impact than Trump.
