Dave Matthews

[Shaggy]

Is he considered an African-American?

 

[Inky_Wretch]

Since he was born in South Africa and is now an American, I guess he could be.

I just consider him a musician, though there are many here who would say he's not.

 

[ServeItUp]

He turned 40 a couple weeks back. 40. This Gen-Xer paused to ponder that.

When does he turn talented?

(Hi, Inky and Cosmo!)

 

[Inky_Wretch]

When does he turn talented?

Some would say as soon as Brook Jacoby gets into the Baseball Hall of Fame without buying a ticket. Or as soon as the Browns win the Super Bowl make the playoffs.

But since I like his music, I wouldn't say such things. ;D

HA! Dave Matthews sucks the sweat off a dead man's balls. I don;t know what that means, but it sounds very negative to me.

 

[write then drink]

as bad as it gets

 

[shotglass]

Dave Matthews ... the poor man's John Mayer.

Eh. It's not the number so much as how you feel. At least that's what I tell myself every birthday.

 

[Shaggy]

I happen to like his ****, personally. He's my favorite African-American artist.

 

[subhead]

Yes, he's African-American. That's why blacks should be called blacks and whites whites. Not all black people are from Africa.

This was covered extensively in my Black Social and Political Thought class where I was the only white male.

And Dave Matthews is awesome. If you think otherwise, you've likely only heard his radio stuff and never seen him live. He puts on an amazing show.

 

[Football_Bat]

BUZZ! Dave Matthews is not black, but three of his band members are.

(Sorry ... misinterpreted the thread's intent.

Now Theresa Heinz Kerry ... THERE'S an African-American.)

 

[Lamar Mundane]

Dave Matthews rules, 864,000 pounds of smoked pot can't be wrong.

Hike up your skirt a little more ...

Why do you have to be so filled with hatred?

 

[Chuck~Taylor]

I like some of his stuff.

 

[cougargirl]

Technically he would be. *shrug* An acquaintance of mine from college was half Egyptian and half Irish (and born in suburban Pittsburgh), and when I was telling a friend of mine about him she said to me, "So he's African-American." She was black and I didn't initially know how to respond, but thought about it and said, "Well, I guess you're right!"

 

[kokane_muthashed]

I celebrate his entire catalog.

 

[Chef]

He puts on an amazing show.

Very, very true.

and don't get me going on the Carter Beauford best drummer award.........dude can flat out play the drums.

PGA tour rookie Brendon De Jonge is a white African-American. (From Zimbabwe). So is Ernie Els. And Nick Price.
