Trivia / Spin Doctors

• Creator Killer: Their second album Turn It Upside Down. The belated success of their debut album Pocket Full of Kryptonite brought the jam band revival to mainstream attention, but the stress that this and their heavy touring schedule brought led guitarist Eric Schenkman to quit onstage. In the face of a growing backlash and an identity crisis about their Newbie Boom, the band attempted to assert their artistic credibility on this album, but it instead proved to be formless, unstructured, and just plain weird; the album still went platinum on the strength of their existing fanbase, but that soon dissipated in the face of a lack of hits. Their follow-ups went nowhere, and since then they've primarily been a touring band.
• Role-Ending Misdemeanor: Co-founding bassist Mark White was fired from the band in January 2022 after he refused to get a COVID-19 vaccine or be tested for the virus.
