Background notes
Archive material and source history
John Rzeznik grew up in Buffalo, New York, and started playing music early. He formed the Goo Goo Dolls with bassist Robby Takac when he was sixteen, playing local clubs around town. The band's 1995 album 'A Boy Named Goo' broke through with songs like 'Name' and 'Iris,' which became radio staples. Rzeznik wrote 'I'm Still Here' around that time, a track that showed up on later releases and soundtracks.
He's kept writing for the Goo Goo Dolls through albums like 'Dizzy Up the Girl' and 'Gutterflower.' The songs tend to be straightforward rock with melodic hooks and plainspoken lyrics. In the early 2000s he dealt with alcohol problems, which he's talked about in interviews. He got sober and kept working.
