Industry insiders are already saying the new Doobie Brothers CD "World Gone Crazy" is going to be one of the top CD releases of the year. Not bad for a group that's gearing up to start their 5th decade in rock!

Maybe NOW the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will finally acknowledge what so many others have know for a long time: The Doobie Brothers deserve to be entered into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. At this point, it's as much to establish credibility for the HOF as it is to honor the Doobies. The public KNOWS they deserve to be there. It's the nominating committee that has to get their act together...

Check out this article for more info and to see several knockout videos by the Doobies!

Jesus is just alright with me, Jesus is just alright, oh yeah
Jesus is just alright with me, Jesus is just alright

I don’t care what they may say
I don’t care what they may do
I don’t care what they may say
Jesus is just alright, oh yeah
Jesus is just alright

Jesus is just alright with me, Jesus is just alright, oh yeah
Jesus is just alright with me, Jesus is just alright

I don’t care what they may know
I don’t care where they may go
I don’t care what they may know
Jesus is just alright, oh yeah

Jesus, he’s my friend; Jesus, he’s my friend
He took me by the hand; Led me far from this land
Jesus, he’s my friend

Jesus is just alright with me, Jesus is just alright, oh yeah
Jesus is just alright with me, Jesus is just alright

I don’t care what they may say, I don’t care what they may do
I don’t care what they may say, Jesus is just alright, oh yeah

After that breathless thread posting I can only presume that “BigChiefLtd” is the FR handle of one of the Doobie Brothers.

Nice to see the Tom Johnson version of the Doobies rather than Michael McDonald version.

From Romancing The Stone (1984)

Jack Colton: [picking up a magazine]
Dammit man, the Doobie Brothers broke up!
Shit! When did that happen?
Joan Wilder: How long have you been down here?
Jack Colton: Forever.

Big Doobies fan from back in the day, before the Michael McDonald version, Stampede is still one of my all-time favorite albums.

Doobie is a strange family name. The brothers must have been stoked up about it.

[lefty-lie-spy]

Awesome. Looking forward to hearing it.

However, put on some Eric Burdon / War, and really get your kicks.

I do love it all though. Thanks for the heads up.

Saw these poseurs in concert in 2008. First song, Rockin' Down the Highway. New bass player was running all around the stage, all Mr. Enthusiasm. Got to the chorus, he was 20 feet away from his microphone, but he supposedly had a vocal part to sing: "Ohhhhhh, rockin' down the highway."

Made a beeline to his mic, but missed the entrance by about 3 or 4 seconds. Funny, the backup vocals never changed. They were in perfect tune, just like a studio recording.

And therein lies the problem, folks. All the backup vocals were canned.

Poseurs.

They didn’t show Michael McDonald and Jeff “Skunk” Baxter in the old clips...I hope there’s no bad blood...

[Captainpaintball]

The HOF has become such a joke, it is almost better that they are NOT in there yet. I bet you some of the judges say, when asked about the Doobies: "Didn't they write that annoying Jeeeeeeeeeeesussssss song?". To them that sufficient reason to keep them out.

I used to go to a place, The Chateau, in the Santa Cruz mountains in the early 70's and listen to these guys play before they were all together and called themselves the Doobie Brothers.

(ahem) I was a young guy then.

[Suz in AZ]

I have the Best of the Doobies 2 album, still unopened in the original plastic.

[appeal2]

Never understood this glaring omission.

[JaguarXKE]

Not many people know that one of the Doobies, Jeff (Skunk) Baxter is responsible for the Aegis Cruiser being part of our missile defense architecture and he's a consultant to the Pentagon on Missile Defense.

Jeff Baxter, MDA consultant!

Thanks for the tip. ‘Nobody’ is a kick ass tune. Not bad for a bunch of old dudes. Hope that tune is representative of the rest of it.

[Lancey Howard]

I love the Doobie Brothers, and have since circa 1972.
...On the other hand, who the hell cares about the Rock and Roll “Hall of Fame”?
The building and displays are cool, but “induction”? What a pathetic joke!

“Induction” is basically the gay(er), even more politically correct version of the “Nobel Peace Prize”. Wenner and the rest of the silly hot-tubbers who come up with these induction annointments from on high are at least as much a laughingstock as the Oslo crowd that handed a Nobel prize to Ubama. As they play with themselves in public they actuallt believe the world is laughing with them, not at them.

But hey, love the Doobies!
