The state of Illinois sued the Dave Matthews Band on Tuesday for allegedly dumping up to 800 pounds of liquid human waste from a bus....dousing a tour boat filled with passengers

I laughed so hard when I read that earlier this morning. Chitown is now Shittown for those poor people.

I can see it now, once the people figure out it was from DMB...

EBAY: for sale, Dave Matthews Poop!

:hscratch: How many gallons does a bus hold? 800 pounds would be somewhere in the neighborhood of 90-100 gallons of waste?

Also, was the bus driver singing "Don\'t drink the water"??...or whatever that crappy song is.

[Stephengencs]

first off Dont Drink The Water aint too bad of a tune......

"Dont drink the water......Theres pooh in the water"

[ChrisPitch]

Nothing new here. Dave Matthews Band has been defecating in peoples ears for years. And it\'s hardly solid stool.

Pitch

[Stephengencs]

HA LOL!!!
Pitchy that is classic shit.....

[ChrisPitch]

Wow now that is funny. Makes me angry too though, that "rock star" attitude of "we can do whatever the hell we want." I guess it\'s been going on for a long time though....

That\'s freakin disgusting.

I don\'t blame DMB. It is the bus driver\'s responsibility to manage all aspects of the bus, I\'m sure he was just trying to save some time and skim the money for the dumping fee he would have had to pay.

Too bad he didn\'t dump the crap that was riding inside the bus in the river as well.

lotta Dave haters out there......

Yeah I guess you may be right; perhaps the band is not responsible. But, they must have been aware of what he was doing? (I hope they weren\'t though, because then there is no excusing them.)

I\'m not sure if he actually had anyone on the bus. He might have been returning to the hotel from the venue to pick up more people or something. I think that all it takes to release the waste is a flick of the switch on the dashboard. Typically you make sure that a disposal hose is attached before you do that though!

and yes it is easy to hate on Dave

At last!!! I\'ve finally found some people who don\'t like DMB - never thought I\'d live to see the day. Have tried for a year or so to try to get into dmb due to having suffered his jamming with trey and john popper, but I find his voice really irritating - pitch hit it right on the head.

I for one LOVE DMB up to 1997-98. It is at this point when they abandoned jamming for "songs". This is what I think of when i think sell out. Focusing on songs w/ little to no jamming is fine for album work but in the live environment which FUCKIN\' MADE dmb,it is not. Changing this live setting that used to be vibrant and spontaneous, forsaking their fans for pop songs($$$$$) has brought them the disgust thrown toward them.
