In the mid-'90s, Watershed's large Midwest following led to a six-figure deal with Epic Records. But the band never had a hit, and the label dropped them. Seventeen years later, long after their more famous peers have called it quits, Watershed keeps climbing into the Econoline and touring mop bucket bars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut Joe can't help but wonder: Are he and his bandmates-approaching forty with wives and kids and mortgages-admirable or pathetic?
