Things I Don't Get -- Vol. 3

Dave Matthews
This guy really gets my goat. He is definitely a talented guitar player. He definitely is really creative to the point where he makes up chords. He definitely can do a weird little duck dance that is really cool.
But why do people love him so? Just like Bruce Springsteen, when people like him, they LOVE him. Have you ever met a casual Dave Matthews fan? Me neither. But the part that bugs me the most is that his fans call him "Dave" as if they were great friends with the South African. You do not know him, you don't know what he's like, don't call him Dave. Unless of course, you do know him and know what he's like. Nonetheless, "Dave," I just don't get it.
