Dave Don't Know From Computers
August 9th, 2004

Maybe Dave Reads Weekly DavespeakIn the quote below Dave admits his lack of knowledge in regards to the internet, saying, "I don't know from computers."

Dave Matthews' dad, John Matthews was a physicist who worked for IBM in 1974. Dave has been quoted as saying that he was "one of the granddaddies of the supercondoctor."

» For more in-depth information about DMB history, we suggest the book:
Step Into The Light: New Revised Second Edition.

With science running so strong in his family, it strikes a rather strange chord that Dave has said that he knows so little about computers.

There are signs that Dave's become more computer savvy. One source tells us that both Dave and Carter have Apple Powerbook G4 laptops on the 2004 tour with them. Dave has been reported to be carrying his around in the box it came in, while Carter has put "a cool handle on his."

"Occasionally I hear rumours, cause sadly--this is a very sad reflection of me is that uh, I uh, I don't know from computers, you know?

I don't know from computers, not at all. People tell me, my friends say: 'Are you out of your mind? You don't know...?'

Its a weird thing, I think maybe they think I'm weird. Anyway, I don't know I'm paranoid I'm afraid of everything--I'm afraid of the remote control, although I do use that.

Apparently there's a lot out there. That's what I hear there's a lot of information, apparently there's a superhighway out there. I thought the autobahn was a superhighway, that highway? I don't know, its super.

Now there's one out there, and I feel as though its like living in a cave. But you know the problem is, if you're a person that lives in the cave its scary the idea of leaving the cave is very frightening. I'm a little bit screwed in the head I think.

Cause all of you are sitting there going: 'the fuck is wrong with him?' He must be lieing. I bet some of you are even saying: 'That's bullshit because I spoke to him on the computer or something.' Apparently I've had entire relationships with people on the computer.

Seriously, there's some creepy ones too. I don't know from computers I live in a cave, I have no idea. So if I've been talking to you, don't believe me. "
