Seeing how I absolutely despise the music of the Dave Matthews Band, this won’t help me appreciate Dennis Kucinich more.
I liked Dave Matthews for about 3 minutes the first time I heard him. Then the pot wore off.
So?
Perfect fit: annoying politician and an annoying band.
There’s a pair - between the Dennis and the band they’ll put the whole audience to sleep.
Dave Matthews seems well suited for dealing with human waste…
Matthews Band bus driver pleads guilty to dumping waste in river
A driver for the Dave Matthews Band admitted Wednesday that he emptied his bus’ septic tank over the Chicago River last summer, drenching passengers on an architectural boat tour with 800 pounds of human waste.

I’m going to hold my nose and say people should listen to what they want to listen to. But I don’t think this is the historical moment for progressives to join up in a movement that seems to me to strive to cultivate maximum harmlessness. We have some bad guys to run out of town first, OK? Then it’s time for holding hands and swaying and so forth, if that’s what you’re into.
This is another GOP play by Kucinich. Hook up with a has-been musician.
I don’t HATE Dave Mathews’ music. I would def. listen to him over any number of Top-40 auto-tuned synth-swill. But I had/have higher expectations I guess for the genre. And jam-bands drive me to incapacitating boredom. We don’t need another solo, make your musical point in 4 minutes or less and move on! You’re not Coltrane on the banjo there, buddy.
Also, too, Dennis Kucinich is a weird one.
Has been politician, has been musician.
They’ll be traveling in a time warp together and the rest of us will be in the present.
Clearly Cordray should see if Phish is available before the Primary.
Agreed, they at least actually play instruments and clearly have talent. Although, They aren’t my cup of tea.
Oh, great – another fucking idiot doing the GOP’s work for them, either unwittingly as a useful dupe, or willingly as dickhead saboteur. Which one is it, I wonder?
Here we go with this purity shit again? Sigh. Most of the people who grew up listening to Dave Matthews are my age and we’ve mostly moved the hell on. Now, if this was like Dave Grohl or Chapelle, hell, even I could be persuaded. But Dave Matthews now reminds me more of Andy from The Office than anything else.
I could write a 300 page manifesto on how much I hate jam bands. They drive me insane. How is every freaking song gonna be 45 minutes? And why do you have 78 people in one band? And why must everyone do that weird, sorta running, side to side kicking thing when they dance to it?
Maybe they could do a show with Widespread Panic and Mumford and Sons, and I can just go ahead and get all Van Gough on my ears.
I often think of the Dave Mathews Band like Hootie and the blowfish. They sounded fresh and exciting for a few minutes then it just wears off.
The only band that could do that and not drive you crazy was the original: The Grateful Dead. Times were different, everyone was tripping, and their jams just matched the general atmosphere.
So how many rubles is the GOP paying Kucinich?
