Dave Matthews Loves Hugging

[davidmullins]

without any exaggeration at all this man's music changed my life (and how I view life) from the first moment I heard him and continues to. a true gift from God to us simple, lucky mortals. Sometimes there is no word for how surprising life can be.

[noahsturgill]

Dave is so humble when he mentions #41 that song is amazing and the audience reaction is completely justified

[PositiveLastAction]

I used to work in a little health food store in Charlottesville va and he would come in often. Nice guy! Often baked off his ass.

You can hug me any time, any where, Dave. You're only getting better with age too.

It's always been funny to me... I don't mind the band, I'm not a huge fan but, they are definitely good... but I absolutely love Dave Matthews himself. He cracks me up.

Dave Mathews seems like the most warm type nice dude in the universe if that makes sense
