Read three posts up from yours. But yeah, it turns out to be the case!

Video on the same topic.

and the story continues. DMB is providing DNA samples so they can identify who the waste belonged to. um, yuck.

DMB poop

OK, let's say you are Dave Matthews. How would you handle this? I assume the bus driver is swearing up and down that he didn't do it. Do you stick with your bus driver and deny deny deny? It's obviously not about the money. The fines are only $70,000, which is really very little to the band. The bad publicity is going to go on and on the longer they stretch this out. The only reason to stretch it out is if they really think they are innocent.

If there was any doubt, or if they thought they were probably responsible, I would imagine they would just cough up the $70,000. Hold a press conference apologizing for the incident, and blame the bus company that gave them the driver.

It's an interesting public relations question.

I actually have more respect for the Dave Matthews Band for fighting this. They are sticking up for the driver, who is probably a friend at this point. The only way they lose is if the DNA proves it was them. Then I suppose they could do the apology, etc.

But, do you love his poop molecules? :turd: :sick:

I just know that he closes the lid... I know it!

It was on Chicago radio yesterday morning that the Dave Matthews driver was to be charged.

Dave Matthews Band Settles Bus Waste Case
 

The Dave Matthews band have class:

"Although the band members were not on the bus when the incident took place, we have always said that if it was our bus we would take responsibility for what happened," the spokesperson said. "That is exactly what we're doing today."

Full story here .

So no band members were on the bus? That means it wasn't even rock star crap - it was roadie crap.

Now they have taken responsibility they face several personal-injury lawsuits. Plus the lawyers and costs. Shows what an employee can cost the boss with a stupid move. Guess they should have shared the groupies with him. :love:
