Or upside down

When did it become uncool to admit you're a fan of this man and his band? When did it become cool just to hate on them for hating on them's sake?

Well, the Ol' Man found an old VHS tape with a few gems from 2000-01. No, not one of those VHS tapes, pervert.

It was a tape with Good Will Hunting, the Blind Melon Behind the Music special, The Doors storytellers special, and a couple of random Britney Spears concerts. If the Ol' Man were 25 again, he'd be this tape.

The clincher? The Dave Matthews/Tim Reynolds storytellers is on the tape, too. And it's good. Really, really good.

Remember the first time you heard the acoustic Crush? Remember that it probably led to really good wine-induced "study sessions" in the "library"? Remember how any Dave song from Under the Table and Dreaming, except Satellite, would make you drink more?

Or when the first note of #41 hit, and you'd lose your sh*t?

Well, after watching the storytellers from 2000, particularly the version of Don't Drink the Water, OMS is back on the Dave bandwagon. He probably won't see a show again, basically because they're all Abercrombie keggers, but he will say that Dave Matthews is still the sh*t.
