Some of you may not know this, but before my days as a rural freelance writer (2000-present), and before my time as a card carrying raving hipster (1996-1999), I was a stoner college student (1993-1996). And, as such, I adored Phish and Dave Matthews Band. These days I’m into a strange mix of music from Outkast to Christina Aguilara to Hybrid to Morcheeba to Ravi Shankar, but there’s still a part of me that adores DMB, and I get a kick out of their new video. Magic mushroom cloud indeed, Dave! This vid makes me think back to that DMB concert at the St. Michelle Winery in ‘95…I got caught in a crush of people and found myself right up against the stage. I spent the whole show making eyes at Stephan Lessard, the bassist, who’s my age. At the time, I was sure he was making eyes back. In this video, my dear Stephan is the one in the back of the limo: the white boy with spiked hair and sunglasses.
