Kryptonite's 20th Anniversary: Chatting with Spin Doctors' Chris Barron Plus ...

. Whatcha got?

Chris Barron : I can't believe 20 years went by. I'm lucky to be in a band that was awesome enough to make a record that people still are remotely interested in 20 years later.

MR : Since this is a celebration of your biggest album, let's cover the whole deal. Can you go into the story including Trucking Company and John Popper?

CB : Well yeah, I went to high school with John Popper, we were in English class. John was a hell of a character to have known when he was 16 years old. I feel privileged to have known somebody that at 16, you just knew the guy was going to be a star. He was just playing the harmonica like that in junior year of high school. He was a mysterious guy that I slowly became friends with. I crashed his car and then he let me drive his car all the time after that, he's just a funny guy.

So, after high school, I was an aspiring musician myself and I was writing songs. You just knew if you had John Popper in your band, you just knew something good was going to happen because he was such a virtuoso. I was trying to get him to do something with me, meanwhile Eric Schenkman was trying to get him to do something. They were already in a band called Trucking Company together, but John had the Blues Traveler. The Blues Traveler formed in high school, and I actually was in a predecessor of Blues Traveler called Blues Band with some of the same guys--John Popper and Brendan Hill who's still the drummer now. So, I knew John, Eric knew John, Eric wanted John to be more involved with Trucking Company, and I wanted John to start a band with me, but all John wanted to do was the Blues Traveler. He figured if he introduced me and Eric, something cool would happen. He was right except we did a rehearsal together and it was great we made some great music together. Then the next time we got together, Eric and I almost got into a fistfight.

MR : (laughs) Seriously? What was that about?

CB : (laughs) Oh nothing, probably some silly thing, Eric has a bit of a temper. I was really green and didn't know how to be in a band and I had offended him somehow. He threatened to kick my ass and I was in his face, then John split us up and we didn't talk for a year. Then I ran into Eric in New York City about a year later and he asked me to do a gig with him, I was like, what the hell. He had a gig at a frat way up in Harlem at Columbia called Delta Phi. He and I started preparing for this gig, and during that period of time, he found Aaron Comess the drummer, practicing in a practice room at the New School in New York City in the jazz program there. Eric came in one day and said, "I found us a drummer." I said, "Really?" Then he said, "Yeah, I heard this guy practicing and I just walked in and asked him if he wanted to be in our band and he said yes." So, that was Aaron. We did this gig up at Delta Phi and we played all night long, people took their clothes off, we had a horn section, John Popper sat in. It was this legendary crazy gig.

Roll On Bed Liner Dump Body - PlowSite.com™ - Snow Plowing & Ice ...

Hello, I tried a search feature on the topic. I am rebuilding my 3 yard Gallion Dump Body on my F-450. I cut out and welded in alot of new steel. What I am considering is a self applied liner such as Rustoleum of Herculees. I'm getting the body sandblasted next week. Paint never last long in the bed and I just reapply a gloss coat of black before each winter. I was wondering if any of the self apply ones would be slippery enough to allow all the material to slide out and hold up any better. I primarily carry grass clippings and mulch with an occasional load of stone. But this winter I will have a V-box sander in the bed. I figured if I'm going to try it I better do it after I get it professionally prepped. Are they easy to touch up?
