Dave Matthews can't sing? I'm not sure how to process that comment... politics aside, the guy has chops and his band is easily one of the most talented groups of musicians assembled and currently making pop music. I don't particularly care for his music, or his politics for that matter, but I am going to draw the line at saying the guy can't sing... because he definitely can.

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?

I can't understand a word being said at an Opera, but that doesn't that some serious singing isn't going on.
