In 1993 while at a friends house getting high as the moon, he turned to me and said, "Dude, your hippie ass is going to love this." He then put on the song "Superman Song" by Canadian rock band Crash Test Dummies. I was so blown away by how insanely deep his voice was accompanied by this incredible folky sounding stuff. Shortly after, he put on the album God Shuffled His Feet and to say that I was in love right away is an understatement. I vividly remember planting myself in the corner of his couch, closing my eyes, and letting the song "God Shuffled His Feet" take me to another plane. It's a feeling I still get to this day (even when not high as the moon.)

Since that fateful day, I have been a fan of Crash Test Dummies and their music has been consistent part of my life's soundtrack. In 2023, Crash Test Dummies will be hitting the road once again to bring the magic of their songs to the people once again and I was so excited to have the chance to talk to lead singer/guitarist/songwriter Brad Roberts. Brad is an amazing human being and I had an absolute blast talking to him about all things Crash Test Dummies. We laughed and laughed some more and it was such a thrill for me.

Enjoy, y'all!
