Takac, guitarist and vocalist Johnny Rzeznik and drummer Mike Malinin are using their cachet to help feed the hungry in each community they play by joining with U.S.A. Harvest to encourage concertgoers to donate canned food at each tour stop.

They saw that "there's a lot more ground we can cover here," Takac said, and that they have resources a lot of others won't ever have--it's not easy for a band to be around this long and still know how to make it work.

 Music | Rhode Island news | projo.com | The Providence Journal
What has Takac tied up in knots is a question about how the Goo Goo Dolls have outlasted the late-’80s post-punk bands that the Buffalo, N.Y., group came up with, as well as the alt-rock bands that became popular when the Goos did in late-’90s.
At that point, Takac says, the Goo Goo Dolls were a bit disillusioned with the music business after two years of touring behind the album Gutterflower, which went platinum but fell substantially short of 1998’s triple-platinum Dizzy Up The Girl.
The next step on the road back, Takac says, was “Better Days.” The Christmas-themed tune was recorded for NBC and was to be released through a retailer — “I think it was Target.” But it fell into the hands of CNN, which used it as its theme for coverage of hurricanes Rita and Katrina.
