 This is 1A. I'm Jen White. The first album from Hootie and the Blowfish, Cracked Rear View, was certified 21 times platinum. That means it sold 21 million copies worldwide. Thirty years after that album's release, Hootie and the Blowfish is on the road, touring nationwide this summer. Lead singer Darius Rucker has a new memoir out, too. It's called Life's Too Short.
