'Hootie & the Blowfish’s Darius Rucker has hit out at Tom Hanks over the band’s omission from the docuseries, The Nineties.
Premiering on US network CNN in 2017, the show shone light on significant events and culture across America in the 1990s. Split into seven episodes, the series’ final part focused on all things music.
With the Blowfish’s debut album ‘Cracked Rear View’ hailed as one of the decade’s most-defining LPs, bagging a US Number 1 and boasting three Top 10 singles, lead vocalist Rucker was left less than impressed by not being featured on the show.
“How the fuck can you do a show about ’90s music and not mention Cracked?” he told theTimes of the apparent snub, adding: “Fuck Tom Hanks!”
Actor Hanks served as an executive producer onThe Nineties alongside Gary Goetzman and Mark Herzog. However, as notes, 19 producers worked on the TV project overall.' via NME
