Did Dave & Co. Dump on Chicago?

By Rebecca Winters

The DAVE MATTHEWS BAND'S eco-anthem Don't Drink the Water must seem like darn good advice to Chicagoans. Illinois is suing the socially conscious jam band and one of its drivers for allegedly discharging "80 to 100 gallons of liquid human waste" from its tour bus onto a boat full of sightseers on the Chicago River. According to the $70,000 suit, the driver violated state environmental laws and doused dozens of tourists, causing some to be hospitalized. "We feel awful for the people who were on the boat," says the band in a statement. "We have worked closely with Chicago law-enforcement officials and are continuing to work to get to the bottom of this." While you're at it, guys, find out who was responsible for the funky smell in the third row at the Toledo show.
