But our drummer Jacob Slichter wrote a book called “So You Wanna Be a Rock & Roll Star” and the first story in it is about some fans coming up to him very excitedly and kind of daring each other to talk to him.
Wilson: Being from Minneapolis, we got mistaken for The Replacements, which was for us, quite an honor. THR: Is that a band Semisonic would often get mistaken for? And the thing about Third Eye Blind is really funny. And while I really like Justin Timberlake’s music and singing, when he’s doing a Dan Wilson impression, I’m not sure I like that.
It is kind of funny to be looking at it from another perspective. THR: As the person who wrote and sang “Closing Time,” how does it feel to see the song used as a gag?ĭan Wilson: I haven’t seen the film yet, but the trailer just made me laugh. THR got in touch with Wilson, now a successful songwriter for hire, who recently moved to Los Angeles, to talk about the song’s legacy. Long used to shoo out bar patrons who had overstayed their welcome, it’s now officially entered the realm of pop culture punchline, which, for singer Dan Wilson, is both a huge compliment and cause for pause.įortunately, not he nor the rest of the band, which includes drummer Jacob Slichter, define their lives by this one radio moment that never went away. LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Thanks to the racy red band trailer for the forthcoming Justin Timberlake-Mila Kunis rom-com “Friends with Benefits” - where a mid-coitus Kunis implores Timberlake to distract her with, what she calls, a Third Eye Blind song - Semisonic’s 1998 hit “Closing Time” is experiencing a renaissance of sorts.
