I didn’t know any of these facts. Im still not a jam band guy but he has my respect.

Yeah that stuff makes him an ok human but I still don’t wanna hear “crash into me” thx.
Hmm, I’m going to need a source on him renouncing his South African citizenship, because I can’t easily find anything that’d confirm that. I found an interview saying he attended anti-apartheid marches, but weirdly the interviewer says he didn’t want to do military service because of his Quaker upbringing. It’d make more sense that he didn’t want to join because he was anti-apartheid, but either way not wanting to join an apartheid shithole’s army for any reason is obviously based (
).Anyway, I don’t think I’ve ever heard a Dave Matthews Band song, so I have no opinion of their music.
Literally the top result on Google.
I renounced my South African citizenship and came to America, which I was already a citizen here because I had grown up here.
I swear I found that interview by searching, but it didn’t highlight the words (although I use Duckduckgo since it doesn’t force me to do an annoying captcha when connected to a VPN).
Well here is your chance
This was the quintessential DMB song when I was growing up
Sorry Dave, this song isn’t bad, but it’s not for me. I still respect you for being anti-apartheid.
wow it just goes on forever
This is what was popular on MTV circa 1997
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Yeah I can’t actually find anything about him renouncing citizenship just him leaving South Africa to avoid being conscripted. My friend sent it to me so I don’t know the level of accuracy.
ETA: I actually found an interview with him from 2018 where he says he renounced his citizenship
People will hate him because he dumped his own shit on tourists in Chicago but we don’t get to dictate how colonized people resist
He’s a scat man in more ways than one.
Skee baba bee buh buh badah bo, buh buh badah bo
Ohhhh so that’s what skibidi toilet is! It was Dave Matthews all along!
Immediately following the incident, the Chicago Police Department said they were investigating but did not yet consider it a crime.
Gotta think this one over.
Welcome to the #resistance Dave

was the music good?
I did not like it
Was the driving and camping fun?
No

I don’t recall but I don’t think so other than being appreciated
This while DJ Khaled, an actual Palestinian, simps for Israel.
No just society would allow someone like DJ Khaled to become rich and famous.
Oh shit, I’ve hated this man’s music for decades, please don’t give me a reason to think he’s cool.
Literally me when I learned Tom Petty was a saint.
Poop bus 2 pls
The Crash guy was based all along???
