Good thing it wasn't David Lee Roth.

And in case you think 'hero' is too good a label for JBJ, check out his foundation, what he's done and continues to do, for folks in impoverished communities.

I've not met the guy but I can only imagine he's a class act.

This guy hasn't even been accused of sexual assault yet. He's rich and famous and was a "chick magnet" in his days (yes that was his official title, and probably still is). Maybe he's the unicorn

He also runs a charity restaurant that serves free meals to anyone who can't pay. Dude is a saint

He must be...he's celebrating his 35th wedding anniversary this year.

But really, how can you say no to that face?

Shiver me timbers

Good thing it wasn't nickleback.

I would have climbed back over the rail and pushed them over. Then taken a picture.

Agreed. The best part of Dave Matthews went into the Chicago River.

[–] Darkaga@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Real fans call him Dave.
