I love the DMB, I hear they are great live. Maybe one day....RIP to LeRoi.

I really wish more black folks were into Dave Matthews Band. Not only because their music is excellent and takes significantly more musical skill than being able to program a computer, but also because these guys are as much jazz and funk as they are rock, and it's a damn shame that young folks of color feel like it's uncool or "not black" to pick up an instrument and play it. Let's face it, 3/5 of the band is black, and of the other 2/5, Dave Matthews himself is African!!

Anyway, as a card-carrying DMB stan (I've seen them in concert at least ten times), I have to give you props for recognizing Leroi's passing while also mourning the fact that he's gone. Well done.
