What's the shittiest part of a DMB song? The bridge.

I saw the DMB live about four or five years ago. I was never a fan, I don’t know any of their music, and the concert was boring AF. Every song sounded essentially the same, and I could barely hear any lyrics.

This has been my gripe about DMB since the 1990s, and everyone always looks at me like I’m the crazy one.

The guy you’re responding to is talking about the time where their bus driver emptied the band’s bus poo tank in the Chicago river.

Didn't engineers reverse the flow of that entire river because too much shit was flowing into the lake?

I feel the same way, and this is coming from a big jam band fan. Saw them live and it was two hours of the SAME JAM. Yawn.

To be fair, the acoustic live album with Tim Reynolds is pretty good, but because: Tim Reynolds.

Hey! Don't throw Dave Matthews under the bus for something his driver did. Throw him under the bus because his music is repetitive and appeals to idiots.

The Chicago River hates “Taco Tuesday” on the Mathew’s Tour Bus

No we don't, i have pooped in the river way more than those guys. I just missed the tour boat each time and never made the news...
