Reading through part of this thread and it strikes me how similar it is to the commentaries under any given article about Justin Bieber in Norwegian online papers these days. Except these comments are by people now in their 30s or 40s (mostly) while the ones raging about how great Justin Bieber is were in kindergarten in 2003. :)

one of my favorite DMB stories is the Pawtucket show in April 2002. he introduced the guest sax musician Ralph Dharel, and Dharel said "you really should have been a Ralph, Dave", and ever since then all of us on Dancing Nancies call Dave Ralph as an inside joke lol

Some Mexican dude zipped by the other day on his Harley, and he was blasting some music that sounded exactly like DMB, only in Spanish.

i find it really strange that frat dudes listen to this guy and Jack Johnson. It just doesn't compute to me at all.

Having gotten to know a lot of (former) frat dudes over the years, esp in law school, it computes to me perfectly well. To the extent there was a "profile" at all, it was not the aggro, alpha-male type you see in 80s movies, it was more of a mellow, straight-laced, don't-rock-the-boat kind of guy. Nice, risk-averse, usually not severely neurotic or suffering from low self esteem, but confident only up to a certain point.

bonita pooleymoon (Sufjan Grafton), Wednesday, 18 May 2016 20:39 (seven years ago) link

yeah maybe so. the guys I knew were mostly from northeastern colleges and maybe the frats there leaned a little more liberal than average

www.ramenclassaction.com (man alive), Wednesday, 18 May 2016 20:39 (seven years ago) link

plus it's unchallenging mid-tempo stuff that undiscerning dudes can purport to be discerning about on the basis of, like, "musicianship."

dc, Wednesday, 18 May 2016 20:41 (seven years ago) link

yessssss

also earnest John Mayer heads

flappy bird, Wednesday, 18 May 2016 20:43 (seven years ago) link

I kind of like the break in the middle of WWYS, where the band drops out and it's just guitar, and then there's a sax solo. Freed from its context, I feel like it could mesh well into a good DJ set.

www.ramenclassaction.com (man alive), Wednesday, 18 May 2016 21:26 (seven years ago) link

dated a jam-band guy in the late 90s so i've seen dave in all his splendor. not my most pitiable concert-going experience, which might be papa roach. tbh there are a number of contenders.

dc, Wednesday, 18 May 2016 21:32 (seven years ago) link

I would see DMB 1000 times before sitting through another youth lagoon show

i have to say that he came across as rather likable in that interview

I feel very odd about the “dude looks like The Predator” jokes I used to make about this guy

This week, Dave Matthews addressed Boyd’s departure from the band for the first time in an interview with Vulture. “I have a deep love for Boyd, and he has to deal with his stuff. In many ways, I’m sure it would’ve been a lot easier for him to just say, ‘I’m good. Let’s go play.’ But you can’t just throw yourself away, your wellness away, because you play violin in a band. It doesn’t make any sense to do that.

“I can’t say, ‘I can’t wait till he comes back,’ because I don’t know what’s going to happen,” Matthews added. “But right now being away is better for him. Nobody is happy about this situation. Except that we’re happy he can figure some stuff out. I hope he does. But I’m going to miss having that whirling-dervish Adonis-Muppet over there on my right. I know the audience is, too. But we can’t serve that desire.”
