Excerpt from Rolling Stone Magazine:
Dave Matthews:
"I'd drink with George W. just to get him out of the White House.
Rolling Stone: Do you feel like an outsider in America?
Dave Matthews: A lot of people feel like outsiders, and we are viewed as outsiders by the government. Or as Un-American. I am way more American than George Bush and Dick Cheney. They have no fucking idea what it is to be American. They are fucking idiots who are programmed to everything in the hands of the few. They think it's right that them and theirs have everything and everyone else get by on good hard work. There is something charming about a simple man in the White House. But that's what is deceiving: He's not a simple man.
He represents the tiniest, tiniest percentage. He got here on the shoulders of giants. I think the Christian world feels an obligation to support him, because he claims to be a Christian. I don't see much of a Christian in him. I think there should be a long line of nuns ready to smack the crap out of him.
Rolling Stone: Do you think you are more capable of running the country than George W ?
Dave Matthews: Yeah, I'd deal with things more delicately.I think I have a much clearer view of the world than he does.
Rolling Stone: How So?
Dave Matthews: I understand people a lot better than he does. And I don't want the job- but there is no shortage of people who can run the country better than him. The most important task in America right now is getting this Administration out of power. I think they are a very dangerous bunch, riddled with dangerous minds. There's a very ignorant view in the White House: a thoughtless, fundamendalist, scary view of how to better the world. I'm truly frightened of this Administration.
Rolling Stone: Do you plan on being more politically outspoken in 2004?
Dave Matthews: My focus is to take them out. Hearing myself say that is sort of depressing. I don't know yet who I want to endorse, but I want minds like Dennis Kucinich. I want variety. But we're sort of in this avalanche, and we have to stop falling before we can fix it. The Bush Administration has squandered everything...they don't have a fucking clue.
Well, not for nothing, but a few years ago while I was at work, me and some guys faxed a radio station that was playing mumbles non stop, and asked them to tell us what he was singing because we could not understand one freggin` word. We were laughing because it sounded like some mental patient receiting the vowels "eee ooo derrr iii yoo aaa ee dooo" I think we got one or two words, but the rest, forget it. And you know what? The guy over the radio(wnew in New York) got the fax and said he didn`t know, said it over the air! Quite frankly, the dude sings like a retard, and speaking of frankly, Frank Sinatra once said "If the audience can`t understand the words your singing, then you ain`t singing baby." Which for me, is right. Why write lyrics at all?
If you understood Italian, you would understand every word an opera singer sings (that`s if the Opera is in Italian) But most who don`t understand Italian don`t care because the Opera is usually written with beautiful melodies, much like a flute would play Mozart. There are no words but the melody carries the song. This Dave Matthews has never written a great melody in his life, it`s all mumbling idiocy. But that really wouldn`t matter if people were just listening for the words, much like people listened to early Bob Dylan before Bob fried his brains out and became another mumbling idiot, but with Dave, you can`t understand his words, and his melodies are absolute grade A garbage. My 3 year old niece could write a better tune on her toy piano in 15 minutes than this moron could write in a year. I mean who are we kidding here? So bad melody plus no lyrics equals sh*t my friend. It`s like listening to my neighbor fart on the toilet, I`d rather take a pass on that. Dave Matthews is an over-rated moron, a moron who should be 'singing' in old age homes for the deaf, and a moron who proves his IQ in lyric writing more with his take on politics. I heard that song "Guilty as charged" (or whatever you call it) tonight, and that crap has to be the most retarded sounding song I`ve ever heard in my life.."Guilty as charged" DUUUH! The guys a freggin` moron who can`t sing because he ain`t got the nuts to let himself sing, he`s a coward who hides behind tics and noises much like rappers make pretend they have cerebral palsy with their hands to show people that they are not a threat yet curse out people and run away at every opportunity. It`s a cowards game, it`s the music of liberals and small minded people. The best singers are the ones who got the guts, the passion to get a message across, Sinatra, Lennon, ELvis. Dave Matthews is a two bit phony and if it was up to me, I`d get that guy from the Apollo to kick his ass all over and off the stage.
Dave... you're an idiot. Come back when you have something to say.
And why do these "journalists" allow these pampered babies to make such statements without explanations?
Tim Cahill wrote one of the best pieces of the crucifixion of Christ that I had ever seen. My father, who was an attorney and a very conservative man, thought that Cahill's piece was one of the better ones he had read.
Cahill also predicted that Mt. St. Helen would blow a month before it did. (He'd been there in March and reported on it in the April issue. 4/80) Mt. St. Helens blew on May 18, 1980.
I think Cahill started Outside Magazine.
??? What??? What`s this all about?? Oh, I see, my rant on Dave "Bush is Evil" Matthews. Well, if you are saying he is doing something right because people buy his records and see him in concert, then be prepared to say that about Hitlery and Bubba Clinton or Stalin or Hitler. Like today, France thinks Saddam is God, thinks rape is cool by their worship of Bill Clinton, but that doesn`t mean they`re not scum bags.
