Oh, come on

This fanshot has been up nine hours, and not a single Jeremy Jeffress joke?

Wow Dave Matthews Band?

The quality of Farm Aid has really declined lately.

Wow...Are you serious?

In terms of fan base, he’s the top draw…by far.

Clearly

What person will readily admit to wanting to watch Wilie Nelson play stoned for half an hour? I’d rather see Dave do the same thing with way more intensity.

I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.

If by 'intensity'

you mean ‘thinly veiled self-righteous scorn’, then I can see where you’re coming from.

Dave Matthews Band is the “jam band” America can agree on! Their motto should be “selling bumper stickers to high schoolers and college freshman for 15 years!”

Too true

I was disappointed with the lack of hookers but the pancakes were delightful

Which just goes to show the sad state of music.

Dave Matthews Band is terrible.

Well, an opinion is an opinion but...

In the last decade, dave matthews band had the highest grossing concerts, valued at around $500 million. In other words, a lot of people would think your opinion to be crap.

In this day and age, it’s actually quite impressive to see a band write and play their own music for just under 20 years. They also must be doing something right because there aren’t any bands with their success who feature a saxophone and a fiddle.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band would argue this point, heartily

Well then...

I’m glad I said “there aren’t many bands” then.

by brewfan2 on Aug 8, 2010 5:21 PM CDT up reply actions  

Perhaps you meant to

But there may have been a typo.

Maybe he should play first base instead. That is, he should lie out there and we can step on him when we get a hit.

by TheJay on Aug 8, 2010 6:53 PM CDT up reply actions  

Exactly

They have an interesting perspective on the world, and the way one song can differ between the studio album and a performance is just amazing.

IMO, they are a lot more than a stoner/hippie band.

I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.

by kirbir on Aug 8, 2010 10:36 AM CDT up reply actions  

I would be repulsed if anyone who is a fan of Dave Matthews Band referred to themselves as a hippie

or a stoner.

I’d peg their fanbase more of an Adderall or Oxycontin using base.

I guess it was more of a sweeping cultural generalization

While the ‘hippie’ generation was known for marijuana and LSD, the current generation is known more as pillheads and speed freaks.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve known some people that go to the barber shop to get some dread locks glued into their hair before ‘the Dave show’. Which I think is deliciously ironic.

I think that's just a sweeping generalization in general

I consider myself a hippie – I don’t do drugs and I look like the average person. Terms do change meanings over time.

I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.

by kirbir on Aug 11, 2010 7:55 PM CDT up reply actions  

Yes, a generalization

I suppose we agree to disagree on all the rest

are you into free love (with everyone)

purchase natural hemp fiber clothing/bags?
just liking the environment doesn’t make you a hippie. Nor eating exclusively organic produce.

Yeah its hard to take a subculture and say that the definition of it has 'changed'

If that’s the case, I’m a beatnik because I like to smoke.

Jack Johnson needs to join too

It’ll be just like “The Mellow Show”… except with the actual performers playing themselves.
