Goo Goo Dolls' lead singer plans to move back to Buffalo
Updated: 10/17/07 9:36 AM
John Rzeznik, lead singer of the Goo Goo Dolls, says he is coming home to live in Buffalo right after he finishes being a judge on the new Fox series, "The Next Great American Band." The show premieres at 8 p.m. Friday on WUTV.
Rzeznik, who was born and raised here and launched his highly successful career at local clubs, said in a telephone interview this week: "I need to be in Buffalo to write. I can't do it in L.A., because what I'm made of is (in Buffalo). As cliched as it sounds, I'm much more comfortable in my own skin there than I am in Los Angeles.
"I live in L.A. -- nobody cares what I do. I'm a musician. If I get drunk and fall down, it's whatever -- it's passe. But if I am on some TV show, then all of a sudden people want to try and dig up dirt on you. I don't live in a gated community in Beverly Hills. I live in a house on a street. I don't want my girlfriend to be affected by it. I don't want any of that Hollywood crap. I know I can go back to Buffalo and I'm Rzeznik."
To read more about the Fox show and a conversation with Rzeznik, see Thursday's Buffalo News.

Ahhh, correct spelling  lol.
Good for him. Fame hasn't gotten to his head.
I hate when that happens to celebrites. It's sad.

I also thought it was really sweet of him to try and keep his girlfriend out of the craziness of the limelight. That Hollywood scene is hard enough to deal with as a celebrity. Imagine what it's like for the 'significant others' who aren't interested in the limelight and just want to live their lives? The whole paparazzi stalking has gotten way out of control.

I hope this show gets huge, John moves to Buffalo, and we get paparazzi in Buffalo.
Okay... maybe not.

That's true as well! Which makes him real.
Yes it has, and it's kind of scary, isn't it?
LOL. Nicole, I love you. I want a picture of Lance Diamond!

Buffalo may not get paparazzi, but it does get crazy out-of-towners who take pictures of the most mundane things. Stop signs at random intersections, variously-colored buffaloes, delapidated buildings...amazing.
Only in Buffalo is he called "Rzeznik". It's so gritty.

Buffalo had a bunch of people design big buffalo statues a while back and put them all over Buffalo. They were later auctioned off, so they're still scattered all over. (My mom's boss bought one, shoved a hose in its butt, and made a pool fountain...  )
And confession: I've never visited SSCW. Mostly because I don't want to go down there myself.
Edit: And no one in Buffalo calls John "Rzeznik". Rzeznik seems to be refering to himself as Rzeznik an awful lot lately though...

lol...kewl fountain.
My favorite buffalo is the pink one outside the diner near the airport. Probably just because it means there's pie nearby. I also like the buffalo with the eyes all over it, the one with clouds, the greenish one at Medaille. Buffalo has a lot of buffaloes. Not too many to overpower the view, though. Now in Baltimore, there are way too many crab statues. Like every 50 feet, there's another dang crab. Jeesh.

I don't buy it. I mean, you can't make such a decision before you're on what might be a huge smash hit tv show. If it's that huge, how can he live in Buffalo and expect things to be normal?
