I assume DMB has fans from their radio play, but every DMB fan I've ever run into tries to hip to every jam band, from Phish to String Cheese Incident. So if you're the guy who's running into the DMB radio fans, I have no option but to take your word on it.

Settling down and having babies is a poor excuse for becoming wack. But I suppose that since I've not done either, I can only assume.

Exactly. I hate talking in large generalities, but a lot of white people are only interesting during their college years. After that they're just boring people who do your taxes.
