Because the hook brings you back

I came across this a little while back. Seems John Popper, virtuoso harmonica player and lead vocalist for Blues Traveler got in a wee bit of trouble:
John Popper Arrested
Updated 08:17 PST Thu, Mar 08 2007 (The Associated Press, Spokane, Wash.) Blues Traveler singer and harmonica player John Popper was arrested after the vehicle he was riding in was clocked going 111 mph, the Washington State Patrol said March 7.
Popper, 39, was arrested the afternoon of March 6 on Interstate 90 near the Spokane/Lincoln county line, the Washington State Patrol said.
Inside the black Mercedes SUV, officers found a cache of weapons and a small amount of marijuana, the Patrol said. A police dog searched the vehicle, finding numerous hidden compartments containing four rifles, nine handguns and a switchblade knife. Authorities also found a Taser and night vision goggles. The vehicle was seized.

Dude. Calm down, Right now.

Their biggest hit has to be The Hook, which has a very familiar chord progression:



On fact, the chord progression is so familiar that this guy went on a rant about it:
