A fact from John Popper appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 22 October 2007.

This article is tagged with a current event, presumably for his arrest on March 6, 2007. Nothing has been added to this article since then. I am removing the current event tag. When more information is forthcoming about more legal trouble, it should be added back on.Daviticus82 20:04, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

It claims that he formed a band which evolved into Blues Travler but according to this article [[1]] and others i've read he left the original Spin Doctors line up to form them.--158.143.151.160 23:12, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

-I'm pretty sure that The Trucking Company was a side project for Popper (w/ Chris Barron, etc) after Blues Traveler was already formed. Blues Traveler's first album was released in 1990, and that article states that Spin Doctors was formed in '91. (I would question the accuracy of that article, though, because the Wiki entry for Spin Doctors states that they were formed in 1988. Either way, Blues Traveler came first.)—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]])

[edit] Weight loss?

Nothing on his weight loss, but the article makes reference to "...after the weight loss." It needs to be mentioned in the personal life section. The guy was huge. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.81.234.82 (talk) 01:59, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

It is there. Personal life, third paragraph.TravelingCat (talk) 08:32, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
