Spoiler alert:  DARIUS RUCKER used to be in a band called Hootie & the Blowfish.  And if you think I’m crazy for even saying that, there are real, live people who are not aware.

He talked about it in a recent interview.  Quote, “There are a lot of people that just have no idea.  I saw a guy [online] say, ‘I was today old when I found out that Darius Rucker was the lead singer of Hootie & the Blowfish.’  I’m like, ‘Really?’

Darius has such a distinct voice you’d think people would put two-and-two together.  Nope.

He adds, quote, “[One time] I finished a show, and this guy comes on Twitter and he goes, ‘Man, the show was great, but how come you played so many Hootie covers?  I didn’t know you liked Hootie so much.'”

(The first big Hootie & the Blowfish hit was “Hold My Hand”, which came out in 1994.  Darius went country as a solo artist in 2008.)
