mwhahahaha. But if you really like the Dave Matthews Band, you don't call them by their full name. You call them "Dave." Ex.) "put on some dave!" You also must be white with dreadlocks when you say this. |

The Dave Matthews Band was a phenomenon that I only observed from afar when I was in college. In Pittsburgh at least, it seemed like only bros, frat mattresses, and anybody who played frisbe golf listened to the "Dave." The white guys with dreadlocks typically stuck to Phish and Grateful Dead cover bands.
I never really noticed the Dave Matthews Band on the radio or TV in the US. My hypothesis is that it's what people who only listen to whatever music is on TV or the radio discover when they start college. I always likened Dave Matthews Band fans and their ilk to younger versions of Jimmy Buffet fans. Dave Matthews and Jimmy Buffet are probably the same person under different personas who provide young and old suburbanites alike a more manufactured experience imitating the atmosphere and community that the Grateful Dead thought up. |

Heh, Reminds me of Maddox. This is what he has to say about DMB band (heh)
I read an exchange the other day between some loser flirting with some lonely single mom on a message board for lonely single losers (not to preclude one from the other, no reason you can't be both). The guy's avatar said "IRISH 4 LIFE," and his profile stated that he's a "Dave Matthews Band" fan, so already his face is high on my list of places I would like to rest my feet (Dave Matthews fans are like the trans-fats of fandom: oversaturated with obnoxiousness, found everywhere, and impossible to get rid of; for example, they only refer to the band as DMB... you can't abbreviate the word 'band' assholes, it's a band by virtue of the fact that there is more than 1 person in it, and for the record, adding the word 'band' to your name doesn't make you any less of an egotistical shit head). Man, you know what I hate? Dave Matthews.
It's the whitest band ever, which is saying something considering 3 of the members are black, and Dave Matthews is literally an African American (born in South Africa). His music can be heard in Whole Foods stores, Live Earth concerts, or blasting from the speakers of open-topped Jeeps parked on curbs everywhere. The typical fan is either some dude wearing khaki cargo shorts replete with dangling rock climbing hooks, even though he doesn't hike because he can't afford to drive his gas-guzzling Jeep, or some chick with huge boobs, buck teeth, and an ankle-length floral skirt that she twirls around like an idiot because she thinks her awesome boobs give her enough social capital to make up for the buck teeth and hairy toes (they don't). |
