Dave Matthews' Band's Troubles Continue

Well, now the architectural tour co. which one of Dave Matthews' drivers "sprayed" last August is suing the self-proclaimed "environmental rocker."

Dave was part of the Vote for Change tour which was nominally a pro-Kerry swing states concert tour last year, but in reality was an anti-Bush city to city bash. No surprise, as the tour's organizer was the hard left PAC, Move On.org.

We'll keep an eye on this story, and see if DMB starts whining about overzealous trial lawyers. The Dave Matthews Band has not been shy about filing lawsuits, as they've been aggressive about suing CD bootleggers. In those cases, DMB was legally in the right, but you have to wonder how much money these bootleggers cheated DMB in royalties. Probably not a lot, as a Dave Matthews Band fan couldn't walk into a Wal-Mart or other major retailer and buy one of these CDs. And as is often the case in the music bootleg business, it was probably fans making CDs for fans.
