But what does Dave Matthews think of George & Dick?
"'I’d drink with George W. just to get him out of the White House,' says Dave. Sounds like a plan, I guess. But he doesn’t stop there: 'I am way more American than George Bush and Dick Cheney. They have no fucking idea what it is to be American. They are fucking idiots who are programmed to everything in the hands of the few.'
"In the midst of the vitriol and profanity of the Rolling Stone interview, there is actually an interesting and seldom-used line of critique against Bush. 'He represents the tiniest, tiniest percentage. He got here on the shoulders of giants. I think the Christian world feels an obligation to support him, because he claims to be a Christian. I don't see much of a Christian in him. I think there should be a long line of nuns ready to smack the crap out of him,' says Matthews. Bush is often seen as an intensely religious man steeped in the virtues of 'moral clarity.' "
