Dave Matthews is Twitter-shy

dave-matthews-twitter-paranoid

Since late April, followers of Dave Matthews’ Twitter page have been deprived of such insightfull 140 character posts as “I wonder if snail farts smell if you’re close enough to the snail’s asshole to smell something so tiny?”

The singer hasn’t updated in a while and it’s all thanks to Rolling Stone. The music rag recently published an article about “Rock Stars on Twitter” that included Matthews and several of his choicest tweets, such as “Do men wax their balls?”

Matthews had said that “It’s fun to throw random things into the world. Plus it’s nice for an ignorant dude like me to have access to that many people.” But we might all be deprived of his future musings on the nature of gastropod flatulence.

Apparently Matthews had always updated his Twitter from his phone and had no idea how many people were actually following him or reading his tweets until the Rolling Stone article was published. He says he “got paranoid when [he] found out all these people were paying attention to it,” and hasn’t updated since.

  • I guess when you’re that famous, you can make any constipated face you want on stage and no one will even utter a peep.

  • He has since updated twitter(few days ago). I thought one of the rules to this site was no mention of Dave Matthews?Does anyone know why Sasha dislikes him? Thank you Kelly for posting.

  • I had noticed that he’s been rather quiet. This makes me sad. I totally adored his flatulence-related Tweets (and there were TONS!) and other random thoughts. It all makes him seem so much more human than the giant icon he’s become.

    F’ing RS had to go and ruin everything!

    • I loved his tweets too. I thought he was off grid recently because of the album promotion and work. Hopefully he will come back! I need some fart jokes to get me through the day, haha. Though Ingrid Michaelson has some pretty good flatulence-related tweets too.

      And what’s with all this “No DMB Talk!” stuff? I never knew she disliked him so much.

  • So does blogging about how much you MAY miss or appreciate DM twitter break the rules? I thought no DMB allowed??

  • Kelly, you’d be doing the site a huge favor if you learned how to use some simple photoediting software and properly resized the pictures before you posted them instead of expecting the browser to squish them whatever way it wanted.

  • Oh, Dave. Dave, Dave, Dave.

    I’d love to ride that disgruntled, already-peaked-and-am-now-coming-back-down face into the sunset.

  • It’s funny that you picked the worst pic of him and I’m still wanting to do dirty things to that man!!
