Dave Matthews sounds like Outkast

(3 of the 5 members are black)

(3 of the 5 members are black)

Are you serious??? Good lord. . .

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 01:41 (twenty-two years ago)

They're taking over the community!

― ModJ (ModJ), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 02:11 (twenty-two years ago)

DMB wins awards because they make white people look so bad that the black community benefits automatically.

― Sym (shmuel), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 02:14 (twenty-two years ago)

heh. sounds like a question for Negrodamus...

― Kingfish Cowboy (Kingfish), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 02:16 (twenty-two years ago)

It's equal opportunity at its finest: Every race is capable of making milquetoast, frat-boy crapola. Actually Hootie already taught us this. . .

Witnesseth: Fishbone

― ModJ (ModJ), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 02:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Are you serious??? Good lord. . .

Because black people are required to be cool?

What Hootie taught us is that a golf-playing middle-class Southern black fratboy who knows the lyrics to Nanci Griffith songs and plays DNC fundraisers in his spare time was the definition of bohemia in the '90s.

Isn't Dave Matthews (the singer, not the band, although they could be too...) from South Africa originally?

― chopher, Tuesday, 9 March 2004 02:57 (twenty-two years ago)

yes

Cajuns! (Or Creoles. I'm not sure which he's supposed to be.)

― Tep (ktepi), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 03:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Meh.

― ModJ (ModJ), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 04:10 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, he is from South Africa, making him African-American. Like Charlize Theron. Yeah, that's it.
Maybe now he'll think twice before showing up somewhere baked like Alaska. They'll put his black ass away!

the image awards is a black people thing?

― RJG (RJG), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 14:40 (twenty-two years ago)

OOH SNAP

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 14:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm sorry to have derailed this thread so and continue to, but I really can't wrap my mind around how anyone could consider a band infamous for smearing tiger balm on their nuttsacks before shows even the slightest bit "milquetoast".

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 15:00 (twenty-two years ago)

I like Fishbone.

I think I'm just amazed that two of the worst bands in history also happen to be among the few "succesful" rock/pop bands (read: not r&b/rap) to contain black members.

America desperately needs a *good* black rocker to erase the stain of DMB and Hootie from our minds. Mick Collins to thread!

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 18:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Sam OTM

― Donna Brown (Donna Brown), Tuesday, 9 March 2004 22:39 (twenty-two years ago)

You mean like Jimi Hendrix?

― ModJ (ModJ), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 01:08 (twenty-two years ago)

the last 35 years to thread

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 01:11 (twenty-two years ago)

why does black people never want to rap?

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 01:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Dave Matthews is eligible because he is a robot

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Wednesday, 10 March 2004 02:17 (twenty-two years ago)

You mean like Jimi Hendrix?

nah, that's kind of not music anymore, it just comes under the heading of "classic rock" by black folk it's okay to like. Also, "Mick Collins to thread" is always OTM

― Donna Brown (Donna Brown), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 03:45 (twenty-two years ago)

and by "not music" I don't mean "not music" in a Gay Dad way

― Donna Brown (Donna Brown), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 03:46 (twenty-two years ago)

re: Jimi, yeah if that's all we can come up with that's pretty sad. One guy in 4 decades or so. And no, Living Colour doesn't count.

we should start a petition getting the NAACP to replace DMB with any of Mick's incarnations. I mean come on:

that poor, poor National.

There's a part of me that hates that I find Dave Matthews infinitely less cringe-worthy than Lenny Kravitz, and then there's a part of me that hates that part of me for giving a moment of brain-time to either of them when I could be thinking about something worthwhile like balancing my checkbook or masturbating to animal p0rn.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 10 March 2004 16:24 (twenty-two years ago)

::shudder:: forgot about Lenny Kravitz.

I think the rise of the likes of him and the frat-boy bands is a plot perpetrated by The Man™ trying to keep the black man down.
