I don't think I've ever heard these guys and I don't feel particularly inspired to listen to them now but this newsletter made me laugh on a day when I really needed a laugh. "What separates the patchouli from the nag champa are the songs..." is gold. Thanks guys.

I loved Ken and CJ's review of Dave Matthews. What is it that causes me(an old guy) and my 28 year old son to both have such a visceral reaction to Dave Matthews when one of his songs comes on the radio. We both can't get to the radio fast enough to change the channel. I don't even understand why the SiriusXM channel Lithium plays them. They are neither alternative or grunge. They are simply safe and as far as I am concerned, perfect for your Phil Collins loving Grandpa.
So you're saying that Dave Matthews' music has the power to bring you and your son closer together? Lithium for the soul indeed. Is there anything Dave can't do? What a beautiful, heartwarming story. Thanks Doc.
In the 90s there were a ton of people that tried to play themselves off as "sensitive" as a way to get girls. Their weapon of choice was usually DMB.
Anytime I hear him now, I think of either how obnoxious they all were (frat boys were, at least, intellectually honest; you knew what you were gonna get), or his tour tour bus emptying it's sewage tanks on unsuspecting tour boat passengers. There's probably a metaphor in there somewhere...

At least Phil Collins has early-era Genesis to lean back on ... Can't say the same for Dave . . .
