Fair enough, Coolio, but it certainly doesn't help their cause. I just happen to find the DMB's music *DREADFULLY, PAINFULLY, UNBEARABLY DULLLLLL*. Couple that with a nation of tobacco-chewin', hackey-sack punting frat boys zealously espousing the band's dubious skills and you have a whole new reason to hate the DMB. Does this mean that I think that *EVERY*one who likes the DMB is a slack-jawed, monobrowed troglodyte? Not necessarily, but to those who are on the fence about them, I'd say this --- RAISE YOUR STANDARDS! There's more fucking interesting music out there....seek it out before you settle for less.

Which is also why all this Dave Matthews hatred from Americans is so delightfully bizarre and hilarious for the rest of us. It's like you guys just decided to pick the most average guy on Earth to focus all your hatred on (kinda like that Gary Larson strip with the guy looking out of his window and seeing a gigantic crowd advancing towards him with signs featuring suitably vague accusations)

Personally, in my most unbiased terms, I dislike DMB because I find the music totally uninspired. I come to loathe them because of the godawful portentousness with which they portray themselves, and with which DMB's most rabid fans have adopted his music as the soundtrack to a generation. Everyone wants meaning and depth in our paltry little lives, but jeez, can't you find something with a little quality to represent that?

saw dmb at two separate bridge school benefit concerts in the late 90s, gotta be honest i could not get into it and pretty much zoned out the whole time. dave and neil played “cortez the killer” together, but it was not very killer to me

I had a dream the other day that Dave Matthews Band played a show locally on a college campus, and a local, far-right conservative group leaked to a paper something really horrible and hateful that DM supposedly said, suggesting he was more of an ally to their causes, and they ran it. I'd witnessed the exchange and was calling the student paper to ask for a retraction, when Dave himself showed up on campus and threatened to beat all of their fucking asses with his guitar.

If you really take this stuff seriously, it is fucked up that they play 'Grey Street' to a bunch of bud guzzlers at the thunderdome.

It's a song about a depressed person that ends with her still depressed, and everyone is just loving it.

and I suppose the dancing people suit the music. The music already clashes with the lyrics. On the album, the songwriter and subject are trapped in a terrible dmb machine. In the show, the dancing audience are ghouls that beg the grotesque machine into motion. "We want to dance to the circus music about the lady who wants to die, dave!"
