Who's Dave Matthews?

[Bogey78O]

These anti-war diatribes would mean so much more if the people spouting them were at least non hostile to Bush.

[Dan from Michigan]

Could someone crash into Matthews?

DMB is so 90's.

My Response:

A suggestion: Why don't you leave world policy to grownups and keep producing music for twentysomethings? I can't imagine President Bush plays the guitar well, nor do I believe that you know foreign policy well.

Please keep in mind that, were situations reversed, an artist such as yourself would not be granted the freedom to produce music that you have here. Have some empathy for the people of Iraq.

[You Dirty Rats]

It's criminal to put our servicemen and women in [sic] harm's way?

So this genius thinks our military should never actually risk battle?

What country does he think this is, France??

[wku man]

Dave Matthews might actually be halfway decent if he'd get an electric guitar...and learn how to play some power chords...and do some solos...and get rid of the sissy-ass violin and sax players...come to think of it, he might want to listen to some Zeppelin albums and learn how to play rock and roll. Until then, he sucks. I didn't think it was in any way possible for me to think less of him, but I guess I was wrong. Hey Dave, you're a Commie...shut up and put on a skirt.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

Matthews...........grossly overrated as a musician. Always has been. Grating voice; nails on a chalkboard. Sounds like a weasel in heat.

Oh yeah........couldn't care less about his "world view", either.

[Free ThinkerNY]

More of the same old lies from the Lame-o Left. Truth to a Leftist, is like a crucifix to a vampire.

[Keith in Iowa]

I'm not wasting one moment of my time commenting to this idiot and his pseudo intellectual emission of cranial flatus. Celebrity opinion is given too much regard. Personally, I give celebrity opinion the same regard dogs give trees and fire hydrants.

[reDublican]

Here's my first attempt at freeping someone. What do you think?

"Can the righteous indignation.

The policy of Saddam Hussein's Iraq is to execute the children of political dissidents in front of their parents. How sympathetic of you to expect the subjects of such a government to effect regime change on their own.

The inspections aren't working either, Skippy. So don't even go there.

And before the inevitable "no blood for oil" hysterics ensue, try, just try, to consider this: if this were all about oil, we would've plundered the Iraqi oil fields the last time we were over there. Kinda makes you wonder why such an imperialist, oil-thirsty hegemon like the United States just walked away from that, dunnit? If you're so interested in foreign policy that is determined by oil interests, then I humbly refer you to that great pillar of national resolve and courage, France.

As a fan of your music and a regular Jane America, I can't tell you how disappointed I am by your statement. It reeks of the kind of moral certainty that only a willing ignorance of the facts can prescribe.

Your heaving conscience may be clear, now. But, should you loosen the tin foil cap enough to accommodate circulation once again, you might be surprised to learn that there was nothing to burden your conscience in the first place...and that your mouth has now relegated you to the ranks of Sean Penn and Barbara Streisand (lest you construe that as a compliment, outside of the narrow circles that you seem to travel in, Sean and Babs aren't the most esteemed of Americans)

Good luck. Poser."

[Tigercap]

My email's title blocked asked: "why are you against liberating Iraqis?".
The message said his political views are clouding judgement about freeing people from a tyrant.

[GOPyouth]

Dave Matthews supports Hilter.

A copy of my letter to his website...
Mr. Matthews,
You call the United States a rogue nation.
You support and keep ruthless dictators in power.
You act like you know more than the people who lead your country.
I am appalled.
I was a great fan, almost as much as the basketball player Eric Chenowith himself, but now, I think you suck, and I will not buy any more of your albums in the future. As a matter of fact, the albums I do own, I will rip at the highest bit-rate and distribute freely on a file-sharing network.
Actually, I am kidding. I wouldn't give you the promotion. You and the rest of the liberals are like "Ants Marching" to me. Call a spade a spade, Mr. Matthews. You can't.
Peacefully Submitted,
Me

Mr. Matthews,

Through my son I learned of your life, and the tragedies your family endured. While hospitalized from a major disease my son often commented on you as an inspiration to him. From this I developed an appreciation of you as a person and have even started enjoying some of your music. Aaron enthusiastically told me about your own support of our troops through the USO which only increased my admiration for you.

It was with an element of sorrow that I read your statement today. Like you, I must act upon my own convictions.

In your statement you say that Saddam Hussein is only a threat to his own people and his neighbors, and that the United States should not be involved in regime change in Iraq. I cannot help but remember the terrible struggle in your native country.

Had not other nations, in particular the United States, not involved itself in a regime change in South Africa I am not sure what conditions would exist there today. Regime change may not have occurred, but surely not as soon as it did which was far too late. I am also convinced that the cost of the change would have been far bloodier and lasting.

"It is criminal to put our servicemen and women in harm's way . . . for the misguided frustrations of the Bush administration."

As an officer with over thirty years service I am confident that I speak for the vast majority of my comrades when I say your hollow concern for our welfare is not welcomed. Do not dare to presume to use our service in the pursuit of your political agenda.

I will follow my own conscience now and will no longer welcome your music into our home.

[CWOJackson]

Matthews has gone on a couple of USO tours in the last year. Please contact the USO and demand that they keep him away from our folks in uniform. Let him go entertain Saddam's troops next time.
