Talk about a fall from grace. Hootie (Darius Rucker) is playing guitar in a fuckin' Burger King Commercial! Think back 10 years ago to the spring/summer of 1995, you couldn't put the radio on for more than 5 minutes without hearing a Hootie song, now the dude is pitching Whoppers. What a shame. Granted, Hootie and the Blowfish weren't great, but they were still better than 75% of the shit you hear on the radio now. Now the fucker is singing songs about burgers, fries, and shakes. "Cracked Rear View" their 1995 album sold 15 MILLION copies in the USA alone....which is one of the best selling debut albums in history. Add 2 Grammy Awards to their list of accomplishments and three top 20 hits. Now the dude is in a cowboy hat, strumming a guitar, selling fast food.............
I always loved "Let Her Cry" it was an amazing song. Now it should be called "Watch Him Cry", the poor Bastard!

I caught that commercial too. Has he lost face? If not he sure lost it now! Is that the best they could come up with for this guy? and what's more, is that the best he can do after that album did so well. I rember seeing them in concert at Jones Beach and thought WOW Hootie and the Blowfish. (don't they serve Burger King at Jones Beach)? Look out McDonald's Burger King has fish.
