Today in Goo Goo Dolls history

[magnetronnie]

I've been wanting to do this for a while now, and a tweet today reminded me of it again: "Today in Goo Goo Dolls history", daily automatic tweets for the @googoofans twitter account.

Is this too random?

Fun idea, ronnie!

[magnetronnie]

Tnx you both!

No one knows when Iris was released? That one can't be missing from the list. ;D

Just finished looking at a youtube vid with a pair of the Racing Sausages hitting the stage during Broadway in Milwaukee last night. THAT is a worthy day in Goo Goo Doll history!
