The idea of God as a fatherly figure who looks down on us and worries about how we're doing or takes sides when we have fights - it's more irritating than Santa Claus. The world and the universe are far more wonderful if there's not a puppet master. Dave Matthews clausfatherlyfight share on social

South Africa gives me a perspective of what's real and what's not real. So I go back to South Africa to both lose myself and gain awareness of myself.

I'm a bit of a caveman - I don't go out into the digital space very often. I lie facedown on the grass and count how many bugs I can find. Dave Matthews bitebugcaveman Change image and share on social
Success turns a lot of people off. I have a pretty solid sense of joy and respect that irritates people, and can irritate me, too. Dave Matthews irritatejoylot Change image and share on social
