	Johnny Rzeznik: Guitar/Vocals Born: December 5, 1965 Hometown: Buffalo, NY Quote: "If someone wants to give you grief for no good reason, I always want to call and go, Why? Why? Why did you say that? But it's just an opinion. Everyone's entitled to a wrong opinion."
	Robby Takac: Bass/Vocals Born: September 30, 1964 Hometown: Buffalo, NY Quote: "Are we going to be so pretentious and lofty as to say our music is not for the main stream? Our music is for us; whatever happens, happens."
	Mike Malinin: Drums Born: October 10, 1967 Hometown: Washington, DC Quote: "I think names of bands sort of become okay once people get to know the bands. I mean, there's all sorts of silly names floating out there that you don't really think are that silly when you're saying them. What do people think about the Beatles? You know, it's a pretty silly name if you really think about it."
