Fifteen years ago Thursday, a Dave Matthews Band tour bus infamously dumped 800 pounds of human waste on a hapless river cruise floating at exactly the wrong time under the Kinzie Street Bridge.
Boat passengers — including a Chicago Tribune reporter — enjoying an open air architectural river cruise “described a downpour of foul-smelling, brownish-yellow slurry that ruined their clothes and made several of them sick,” on the afternoon of Aug. 8, 2004, the Tribune reported.

Still beats listening to them. Dave Matthews Band (he doesn’t like the word “the”) is terrible.

That makes it 95 gallons.
Well put.
Dave Matthews from South Africa by way of Charlottsville, VA, which ought to tell you what you need to know.
I spent a year in a tour bus. Rule #1 was no #2. You never poop in a tour bus.
The Kenny G of jam bands.
Well said
Not even close and Cheryl Crow also doesn’t fit in that group either. Creed is a Christian band. Your off one the era as well. MTV was 80s/90s. That was gansta rap and big hair bands like Europe, Ratt etc. The bands you mention were 2000s and up. Some, like Nirvana were the flannel wearing grunge bands, mostly from from Seattle and yes, their music was pretty bad and depressing and pretty much the end of and low point of rock. Creed sort of had the sound or at least tried but weren’t all that successful at the kill myself sound due to being Christian.
So, what you’re saying is that it wasn’t excrement that they dumped, it was actually their music?
No, while some of the bands and the music may have survived the 90’s, it was the genesis of an entire decade of navel -gazing alt-crap, up to and including Creed and Sheryl The Diseased Crow. It wasn’t defined by musical or cultural sub-genres, it just defined an American decade. And that decade saw higher taxes, Flight 800, Fort Marcy Park, the untouchable Kingdom of the Clinton’s Hamelot, a twitching, palsied lesbian attorney general who had a house raided to send a little Cuban kid back to Cuba at gunpoint, presided over multiple and avoidable deaths at Waco, weak-willed and cowed RINOs populating Congress, the mutation of the World Wide Web that has become a quasi-police state (in some cases, literally) for anyone who uses it, and culminated in a presidential impeachment due to our horndog-in-chief using a fat intern’s love tunnel as a humidor and accidentally getting his manguini sauce urped up on her work dress. And that’s just the CliffsNotes. The lesser disciplined in society discovered that for every infraction, there was an equally absurd way of eluding responsibility. It was the Swinging Sixties generation, v.2.0. The music was just the soundtrack on an Internet connection.
