why dont people like DMB?

Unread post by Twostep13 » Fri Jan 12, 2007 2:11 pm

i was talking with some people about the shows at wrigely field this summer on a cubs forum, and there were a few people there that liked him, and then a few that didnt... i was just wondering what people hear is the most used excuse that people dont like the band? i usually get that people dont like his voice, but a guy brought up daves political views, and that people might be put off.... what do you guys think?

Voice, politics, jams, instrumentation, "everyone likes them," and, "only toolbags listen to Dave Matthews" are some of the excuses I've heard. But I don't really give a damn and I don't know why anyone else does either. So a person has stupid reasons for disliking music. Whatever.

I hardly listen to dmb anymore for two reasons:
1. Their new stuff is terrible (Down by the bayyyyOOOOW)
2. I'm burned out on their old stuff. Listening to a band almost exclusively for three years will do that to you.

Gervais on Rosa Parks "she was arrested but then that law was changed- but she didnt stop there, she started sitting in the seats saved for disabled people. unbelavable, she talked to the driver when the bus was in motion- did she have the correct change ready? - did she bollox!"
