Why were these guys always on ESPN and what's their connection with sports?
This 'band' was horrible. Ugh.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.14.148.51 ( talk • contribs)
I'm not sure if Bob Dylan actually sued Hootie and the Blowfish. I can't find a reliable source anywhere that says that he did.
Image:H and Bfish.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. BetacommandBot 06:39, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
I was hoping to find in this article some information about Hip Hop culture's critique of this band, particularly of Darius Rucker being considered a "sellout" because he was an African American who embraced a mainstream, perhaps predominantly Caucasian audience. I recall at the band's height of success, hearing of interviews with Rucker who felt compelled to defend himself for this. I always felt it was an unfair, and in fact racist, perspective on his and the band's success.
The band was recently honored with a sculpture and the renaming of a local street in the 5 Points area of Columbia, SC. Link: http://www.thestate.com/2010/10/22/1524574/hooties-monumental-night.html#storylink=omni_popular Lime in the Coconut 16:11, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
I heard many years ago that the band name originated at a bar one night through a discussion with friends of the band, rather than what is stated in the article (without any references, I might add)

In the liner notes to the 25th Anniversary release of their debut album, it is noted that the band's intention that the proper formatting was that the title be cracked rear view, all lower case. The notes for the album refer to it in this manner. Would this be enough to warrant a change?
