He did tell Rolling Stone, вЂњItвЂ™s about a time when my friends and I were at a Primus concert and somebody brought speed. It really is funny that people play it on the radio.вЂќ Stephan was often cagey about precisely how, uh, autobiographical вЂњSemi-Charmed LifeвЂќ was. Stephan Jenkins, explaining вЂњSemi-Charmed LifeвЂќ to Billboard in April 1997: вЂњItвЂ™s a dirty, filthy song about snorting speed and getting blow jobs. The world has spent nearly a quarter-century now grudgingly acknowledging the awesomeness of вЂњSemi-Charmed Life.вЂќ Later in this show today I will discuss the awesomeness of вЂњSemi-Charmed LifeвЂќ with none other than Max Collins from Eve 6. ItвЂ™s catchy, itвЂ™s gritty, itвЂ™s subversive, itвЂ™s ridiculous, itвЂ™s incandescent. I should clarify immediately that this song is awesome. Today itвЂ™s вЂњSemi-Charmed LifeвЂќ 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 youвЂ™d have to start what makes him great. But really: To what do we owe the worldвЂ™s displeasure? Lotsa megalomaniac walking-cheese douchebag rock stars in the world. WhatвЂ™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. вЂњAfter the Third Eye Blind guy told me he fucked my girlfriend he told me I was вЂa wordsmith like Jim Morrison.вЂ™вЂќ -Max Collins, frontman, Eve 6 HeвЂ™s a net negative as a person.вЂќ -John Vanderslice, San Francisco singer-songwriter and producer вЂњStephan Jenkins has caused a lot of misery in his lifetime. The song вЂSomebody Hates YouвЂ™ is entirely about him.вЂќ -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. вЂњI was hip to StephanвЂ™s bullshit a long time ago. HeвЂ™s really just a cock.вЂќ -Rob Thomas, immortal singer of SantanaвЂ™s вЂњSmooth,вЂќ 10 years after the Walking Cheese thing вЂњI donвЂ™t hate him, I just donвЂ™t like him. This was pre-вЂњSmooth.вЂќ He was still mortal then. Rob had gained 40 pounds on the first major Matchbox Twenty tour. I just think, вЂYou are walking, breathing, living cheese!вЂ™вЂќ -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.)вЂќ -Zach Lind, drummer, Jimmy Eat World вЂњStephan Jenkins is such a fucking creepy douchebag. ThatвЂ™s all IвЂ™ll say about that.вЂќ -Steve Harwell, frontman, Smash Mouth I wouldnвЂ™t go near Stephan Jenkins and that band.

вЂњThereвЂ™s a few bands that we just donвЂ™t like touring with. HeвЂ™s so narcissistic that heвЂ™s not really capable of rational thought.вЂќ -Kevin Cadogan, former lead guitarist and Stephan Jenkins bandmate, Third Eye Blind вЂњStephan Jenkins is a total megalomaniac freak.
