If anyone has already posted this, I apologize for doing it again...but I found this article that says the Goos will be headlining an opening night event that benefits the children's hospital in L.A.  I love it that they're always doing GOOd in the world!  :)

Multi-Platinum Rock Act The Goo Goo Dolls Headlines MAGIC�s Opening Night Event Benefiting Childrens Hospital Los Angeles

Woodland Hills, CA (January 31, 2006) � Continuing its much-anticipated tradition, MAGIC International has announced that The Goo Goo Dolls will �Give a Little Bit� back to the Childrens Hospital Los Angeles as the headliners of its opening night party on Tuesday, February 21.  A highlight of one of the fashion industry�s busiest weeks, the charity event will be held at The Joint and Body English in the legendary Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.

The Goo Goo Dolls, who enjoyed a spot on Billboard�s top 10 last year with their single �Give a Little Bit,� a remake of the Supertramp hit, were an unknown trio from Buffalo, N.Y. until they climbed the charts in 1995 with their single �Name� from the album A Boy Named Goo. In 1998, their song �Iris� from the album Dizzy Up Girl was featured in the movie City of Angels, and spent 18 weeks on the charts, earning the band three Grammy nominations. The band�s newest album, Better Days, was released this month and will be accompanied by a cross-country tour kicking off in Los Angeles on February 4.

�Great music for a good cause is what MAGIC�s opening night party is all about,� said Laura McConnell, Vice President and General Manager, MAGIC International.  �We�re proud to be associated with Childrens Hospital Los Angeles and thrilled to make The Goo Goo Dolls the latest in a long line of outstanding performers headlining our charity event.�

The fashion industry is recognized for its commitment in generating awareness for numerous charitable efforts, and MAGIC�s Opening Night Party reflects its ongoing efforts to give back to the community. Over the years, MAGIC has raised awareness and funds for children�s charities with Opening Night Parties featuring Seal, Duran Duran, Maroon 5, The Black Crowes, and many more.

Tickets for the February 21 MAGIC opening night party will be $65.00 with all proceeds going to the Childrens Hospital Los Angeles. Tickets can be purchased by calling (877) 554�4834. For more information, please visit www.MAGIConline.com.

nmf016, LOL!!  ;D

I think there are...let me see...at least five errors there  :shakehead:
1. "Give a little bit" never reached the Top 10, as far as I know, but it made it to the Top 40
2. The single "Iris" appeared on the City of Angels soundtrack BEFORE Dizzy Up the Girl was released
3. -5. Better Days is not the album title, it wasn't released this month, and they're definitely not on tour yet!!  ???

You can tell how much time I have on my hands   ;D but there's probably more errors I didn't catch

Yeah, that sentence is definitely the worst, seeing how it has three blatantly wrong facts in it, but I think I like this one the best:

Iris spent 18 weeks at #1 on the Billboard airplay charts, and nearly a year on that chart, which still holds the record for the longest stay at #1.  18 weeks on a Billboard chart is pretty common, but to be at #1 that long is crazy.

Hehe, I think "Iris" was on the charts for more like 81 weeks instead of 18 . . . :P
