Spotted in New York City by Amy's Robot: A flyer for an upcoming solo performance from the Spin Doctors' Chris Barron; as the post notes, it's "taped up next to an ad for a man with a van, and a flyer for a craft fair at a middle school." What's most poignant is that you just know he still has crates of that fourteen-year-old Rolling Stone issue lying around.

They don't even list the poor man's website. Let me help:

As opposed to 'a' Chris Barron.
I assume he's still going to play "Little Miss Crap Your Pants," then go on a long Jake Lamotta rant.
More about the craft fair!
"Back By Popular Demand"
Show me these people, for I must see them with my own eyes.
Hey, fame is fleeting. And I bet he's still getting laid with girls who were big fans from 1993...back when they were in junior high.
Ahhh, I still remember seeing them play in high school at the Orange County (NY) Fairgrounds with Soul Asylum and Screaming Trees. WOW did they suck live.
That being said, I still haven't sold their CD's back. How much will a near-mint copy of Homebelly Groove fetch me, I wonder?
"What time is it?"
didn't he suffer from voice paralysis in the late 90's? i guess my curse wore off :(

Ha! This was my first concert! My parents took me (I was in fifth grade). My mom and I really liked Soul Asylum, but I thought the Spin Doctors were annoying.
I remember reading with a chuckle that Chris Barron suffered some sort of throat condition and wouldn't be able to sing again, but I guess that didn't last...
So I'm assuming he's in town to play a benefit for Hearst College's student radio station?
@Rory B. Bellows: 4:30! It's not late! No! No! It's just early, early, early.
