Are you kidding us? The Goo Goo Dolls to play July 4 concert

No, seriously. The Goo Goo Dolls are playing the annual July 4 concert on the Parkway. Because it's 1997. Goddamnit, Philadelphia. We get it. You don't have a lot of money. But this is worse than Sheryl Crow.

I bet a Janelle Monae/Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings double-bill would cost the city less than the Goo Goo Dolls.

Hint, hint.

I seen them a handful of times and I really think they are a great band.  Their music comes across really good live and doesn't have the feel of their pop hits on the radio.

This is a very underrated band. If yo want to know what they sould like live, listen to their live in buffalo dvd. They are AWESOME. The only concern is what the set list will be like. I hope they will amp it up and play UP BEAT SONGS.

The Goo Goo Dolls are amazing! They were awesome in the 90's and are still going! Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but this person probably wouldn't even know the GGd's if he heard them on the radio.. They are still really popular dude!
