No, the Goo Goo Dolls aren't ready for New York's Madison Square Garden quite yet, but they definately are looking forward to their appearance at the "Day In The Garden" music festival this weekend.
Goo Goo Dolls frontman Johnny Rzeznik, who has lived in New York state most of his life, tells SW News he's never even visited the site of the historical Woodstock concert. His friends have hinted that he move there as he says, "My friends that live in the city tell me, you know, now that you've got a couple of bucks you should move up to Woodstock." Of the idea of moving Rzeznik tells SW News, ["Ahh, I don't know. I've never been there, so...I think I've driven through probably. Everybody says it's really amazing. I can't actually wait to see it for once."] The Goo Goo Dolls will join the day three line-up. SOUND (:08 OC:...for once.)
