I should clarify immediately that this song is awesome. Today it’s “Semi-Charmed Life” from the 1997 self-titled debut album from San Francisco pop-rock band Third Eye Blind.

What makes this guy special? What makes this guy the great unifier? Well, I suppose you’d have to start what makes him great. But really: To what do we owe the world’s displeasure? Lotsa megalomaniac walking-cheese douchebag rock stars in the world. What’s the deal here? Why do so many people hate Stephan Jenkins, frontman, Third Eye Blind? Stephan with an a not an e at the end. “After the Third Eye Blind guy told me he fucked my girlfriend he told me I was ‘a wordsmith like Jim Morrison.’” -Max Collins, frontman, Eve 6 He’s a net negative as a person.” -John Vanderslice, San Francisco singer-songwriter and producer “Stephan Jenkins has caused a lot of misery in his lifetime. The song ‘Somebody Hates You’ is entirely about him.” -Jason Slater, former bassist and Stephan Jenkins bandmate, Third Eye Blind, talking up his new band, Snake River Conspiracy He was the inspiration for a lot of the songs on this record. I wanted to have a career in music for the rest of my life, and I knew if I was associated with that guy, I would not be allowed to do so. “I was hip to Stephan’s bullshit a long time ago. He’s really just a cock.” -Rob Thomas, immortal singer of Santana’s “Smooth,” 10 years after the Walking Cheese thing “I don’t hate him, I just don’t like him. This was pre-“Smooth.” He was still mortal then. Rob had gained 40 pounds on the first major Matchbox Twenty tour. I just think, ‘You are walking, breathing, living cheese!’” -Rob Thomas, frontman, Matchbox Twenty. He and his band got into a fight once because he wanted to put just his picture on their T-shirt. (I feel so much better now.)” -Zach Lind, drummer, Jimmy Eat World “Stephan Jenkins is such a fucking creepy douchebag. That’s all I’ll say about that.” -Steve Harwell, frontman, Smash Mouth I wouldn’t go near Stephan Jenkins and that band. “There’s a few bands that we just don’t like touring with. He’s so narcissistic that he’s not really capable of rational thought.” -Kevin Cadogan, former lead guitarist and Stephan Jenkins bandmate, Third Eye Blind WHERE: Convention Hall, 1300 Ocean Ave.“Stephan Jenkins is a total megalomaniac freak. “I have enough to think about with this band.”

“You stay concerned with what you’re working on,” Jenkins said. Jenkins doesn’t have much to say about his former bandmates. Jenkins is the lone original member of the band, which now includes drummer Brad Hargreaves, guitarist Kryz Reid, bassist Alex LaCavalier and keyboardist Alex Kopp.įormer Third Eye Blind members guitarists Kevin Cadogan and Tony Fredianelli and bassist Arion Salazar formed XEB. Third Eye Blind, which impressed while showcasing in Austin, Texas, at South By Southwest in March, will perform Thursday at Convention Hall on the Asbury Park Boardwalk. “You have to believe in something and not back down.” “I think you have to be honest up there,” Jenkins said. He asked the crowd who believed in science. Last year the band played a charity concert at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland when Jenkins discovered that the event was tied to the Republican National Convention he decided that the band wouldn’t play any hit but “Jumper” and trolled the conservative audience. Jenkins doesn’t pander and will take some risks. “When you look at a song like 'Jumper,' it’s encouraging since as a society we’ve made some progress when it comes to acceptance, at least compared to what life was like when that song was written. “Jumper” is about a kid who was gay and bullied and jumped off a bridge. The latter, like many of Jenkins songs, are about something. It’s pretty cool to see teens really into 'Semi Charmed Life' or 'Jumper.' " “That’s very cool since they’re not listening to a memory,” Jenkins said. Jenkins is pleased that a younger audience which wasn’t around in 1997, is into his 20-year old hits.
