Big Mountain's lead singer Quino is totally grateful to Klye Beckerman for the free publicity. The band who has suffered abject failure since the success of their 1993 remake of Peter Frampton's "Baby I Love Your Way" are excited that people are talking about them again. "It was, like, nobody remembered us....we couldn't even get a mercy joke on any of the 50 shows covering 90's music on VH1," revealed Quino, whose trademark cracker-rasta locks were shaved once it became the rage of the college campus patchouli and wool hoodie crowd. But now that Kyle Beckerman has replicated Quino's infamous "wastaman" hair, the scathing comments and snide remarks, such as "I guess we know whatever happened to your band, dude", "Hey, Big Mountain is calling, they want their hair back" and "Dude, sing that shitty Frampton cover" that Beckerman hears from fans and colleagues of the MLS has people Googling Big Mountain enough that they have seen their site hits double to 4 this past month. Quino has promised to borrow his Mom's Jetta and ride up to Los Angeles the next time Real Salt Lake plays to thank Beckerman.
