Keep in mind the ’90s?
The Web was so new we needed to wade by way of a collection of squawks earlier than going surfing. Comedians instructed any joke they happy, and nobody feared cancellation for portray outdoors the traces.
Musicians toured with out lecturing crowds on how they need to vote or stay their lives.
And set off warnings weren’t even a factor. Nonetheless, the 1994 comedy “PCU” predicted the approaching woke revolution.
And right here we’re.

All of us love our buddy comedies … however this film was created in a special time. FYI sure depictions, language and humor could seem outdated and at occasions offensive.
Audiences watched the film for 27 years with none such “safety.” Now, a significant cable community deems it vital. Will it air an analogous warning for “Rush Hour 2” and “Rush Hour 3?” What different motion pictures are subsequent?
Yeah, we miss the ’90s. Badly.
It’s why the triple invoice at Colorado’s Purple Rocks Amphitheatre Friday bought such a heat welcome from the gang. The night time featured the Spin Medical doctors, Gin Blossoms and Blues Traveler in a lineup relationship again to the roaring ’90s.
The Spin Medical doctors broke out pop gems like “Two Princes” and “Little Miss Can’t Be Fallacious,” displaying an appreciation for the gang sticking with the rockers all these years later.
An identical sentiment got here from Robin Wilson, the ageless lead singer for The Gin Blossoms. The band saved its largest hit, “Hey, Jealousy,” for the tip of its set. Different bangers like “Observe You Down” and “Discovered Out About You” stored the gang on its toes up till then.
Each opening bands have been in nice type. They didn’t noodle with their basic tracks, delivering them precisely as the gang anticipated.
In spite of everything, these followers matter probably the most. And so did the date on the calendar – July 4, 2025. The present couldn’t overlook the nation’s birthday, showcasing the fireworks exploding throughout the venue.
Blues Traveler hit the stage to strains from “South Park’s” giddy anthem, “America (F*** Yeah)” from “Staff America: World Police.” The celebrities and stripes could possibly be seen on stage and lead singer John Popper performed the Nationwide Anthem on his harmonica.
He, too, thanked the gang for becoming a member of them on a pristine summer season night time, hinting at a medical hiccup that just about derailed his look.
The present should go on, and with it killer covers of “Sizzling for Trainer” and “Mary Jane’s Final Probability” together with the band’s blistering smash “Runaround.”
For one night time, the Nineties have been again. No woke lectures or set off warnings. Simply old-fashioned rock, pop and blues performed at a excessive degree.
We don’t all the time want Doc Brown’s time machine for nights like this.
