The Tragic Real-Life Story Of The Doobie Brothers
Over the years, the Doobie Brothers have sold nearly 50 million records worldwide, won two Grammys, and been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. But despite all that success, the band have had to overcome a number of setbacks and personal tragedies. This is their story.
In 1970, the counterculture movement had mostly reached its peak, the Beatles had broken up, and the Vietnam War was slowly beginning to wind down. But the Doobie Brothers were just getting started. When singer, guitarist, and co-founder Patrick Simmons enrolled at San Jose State to escape the draft, he met co-founder and guitarist Tom Johnston, who'd been roommates with a drummer, John Hartman.
The three had hopes of becoming like their heroes, Moby Grape — but they'd soon be on their way to developing an image and sound of their own. And, after a few jamming sessions, they realized they had something. It was after indulging in a smoking session or two that one of their roommates suggested they call themselves the Doobie Brothers. In a later interview with Rolling Stone, Johnston explained:
"We said, 'That's a stupid name, but we'll use it because we don't have one.' It was probably the only time we were gonna use it."
In the same interview with Rolling Stone, Simmons admitted:
"It was dumb, but it was cool in a way. We did smoke a lot of pot."
