Episode Details

John Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls is keeping politics off stage, insisting music’s job is to uplift—not lecture. In a world already saturated with political noise, he believes concerts should be escapes, not rallies. Unlike artists like Springsteen who’ve faced backlash for on-stage activism, Rzeznik channels Mick Jagger’s ethos: make people feel good, not preached at. He also calls AI music derivative, even as the band tours with Steve Aoki and celebrates “Iris” with a new version—and an anniversary edition of “Dizzy Up the Girl” drops October 2nd. His message? Music’s power lies in connection, not controversy.
