The Doctor's in! w/ James Lilja MD (Original Offspring Drummer) | Time to Relax with The Offspring Ep. 7

[rixareth]

I know exactly two facts about The Offspring, and they are both incredible.

- The Offspring's lead singer, Dexter Holland, has a PhD in molecular biology; he wrote a 175-page dissertation on the molecular dynamics of HIV. (source)

- At his medical malpractice trial, Dr James Lilja, former Offspring drummer, gave CPR to a prospective juror who went into cardiac arrest. The judge had to declare a mistrial, because there was a chance the rest of the jury would be biased in favour of Lilja after, you know, seeing him save someone's life. (source)

This is the band with a music video in which molecular biologist Dr Dexter Holland drifts gently down on a hang glider, in tranquil silence, and then just yells MY FRIEND'S GOT A GIRLFRIEND AND HE HATES THAT BITCH. I never want to look up anything about the rest of the band members, because I'll be so disappointed if they're not all doctors.
