I think you missed the clues in the video. He’s in “the friend zone” with the music industry. Dorothy Gale (wizard of Oz) couldn’t get into the club because she doesn’t meet the age requirements for the club, so she and tin man, scarecrow and lion are trying to sneak in. John Popper doesn’t meet the aesthetic expectations of the music industry so they require him to play behind the curtain while they have a fake act outside that the fans think is the real deal, while John Popper is the man behind the curtain. Popper was a large man and did not fit into what music execs wanted to package…and sexy little Dorothy and her friends just wanted to hear him play, but were prevented from doing so by the velvet rope bouncer and the music exec. The coffee tea line was after a line about how he has to be happy with whatever is in his cup… Great song, great video. My favorite blues traveler one.

Never mind, I’m wrong about the song meaning according to Wikipedia “The song tells of the relationship Popper had with original bass player Felicia. Popper had a crush on her, but was worried because they also shared a close friendship.[6] According to guitarist Chan Kinchila the two still remained close friends after the events of the songs.[6] She was also the subject of a later song, "Felicia"”

One night in 1989, my band "Spears Arrows" was the opening act at The Paradise club in Boston. Another local band, "Crab Daddy" was after us then the headliner...a band from NYC that none of us had heard of. After we did our set we were backstage in our dressing room drinking a case of beer that our roadie procured "somewhere" and rolling spliffs...all of a sudden a big fat guy walks in and says "Smells great in here!"...so naturally we shared some of our beers and got him and his band properly stoned. When they had to go on we stayed in the dressing room and continued to party with Crab Daddy. Then we heard them. Blues Traveler. Minds blown.

I love this band. John Popper the lead singer, had a special vest made that holds all of his harmonicas. That is bad ass! I am so sorry to say that this band does not have a very big following. They are so talented. So underrated.

Reminds me of early Springsteen with tons of harmonica.

Notice the people in the video trying to get into the club are all characters from The Wizard of Oz.

Definitely give "Hook" and "But Anyway" a try! Excellent songs by blues traveler. Nevermind, I just saw you guys already did hook haha

Go back and look at Chicago Bulls games from their heyday. John Popper was always sitting in the first two rows behind one of the baskets in Chicago. With the hat on but not the harmonica bandoleros ;-)
