There, Doughty occasionally dropped in to shoot the breeze about his group, solo work and monkey-bears - as well as share personal photos and weigh in on assorted other topics now considered standard forum fare. People who don't understand their boyfriend's/roommate's/older sister's continuing devotion to Doughty based on the music alone should head over to the current Mike Doughty blog and witness his personable nature first-hand.
