Maybe you should mention their appearance on [[What's Happening!!]]. My foggy memory is that they had a two-part episode. The gang gets to know them and go to their concert, but Rerun accepts money to carry a tape recorder to the concert to make a bootleg live album and gets caught. The Doobies then have a long explanation of the moral of the story and Rerun tries to con out the bootleggers... Or something like that. [[User:Mpolo|Mpolo]] 19:34, Nov 4, 2004 (UTC) |

- Very true. It was one of the first times What's Happening!! had important guest stars like that. The episodes aired in January 1978...and for the most part, you have all the details correctly. Rerun didn't do it for his own benefit, though; thugs basically told him to do it or else. Mike H 22:07, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)
Where are they from though? --71.112.134.81 02:06, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Yacht Rock reference necessary at the end of the article.
Why haven't they made the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? Not enough stability? They certainly have sold enough albums.
The album "On Our Way Up" is a bootleg
The album "On Our Way Up" I have learned to be an unauthorized release of early Doobie Brothers demos from 1970. As such I think it shouldn't be included and I am therefore removing it from the list. It's a bootleg in other words.--Peter Jensen 04:51, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
B. R. Cohn Winery is part of Doobies history
I have contributed a substantial amount of information to this entry, but several different people over the past several months have removed my references to the B. R. Cohn Winery on grounds that Bruce Cohn is "advertising his products" on Wikipedia. I'm a knowledgeable fan of the band and not affiliated with B. R. Cohn in any way. I personally find it interesting that he's carved out a niche as a successful vintner on the side, while still managing the Doobie Brothers full-time for 36 years. I don't understand how disclosure of this fact constitutes abuse or misuse of Wikipedia.
