An excerpt from the Chicago Tribune:
"Authorities said Wednesday they are unsure if criminal charges will be filed against the Dave Matthews Band and one of its tour bus drivers for allegedly dumping foul-smelling waste into the Chicago River and showering a tour boat filled with passengers in the process."

DMB is one of my all time favorite bands. I can't believe they would do such a thing! And what timing!! Those poor tourists on the river!!
...."According to the lawsuit, on Aug. 8, a bus leased by the band crossed the grated Kinzie Street bridge near the downtown business district and the driver allegedly emptied the contents of the bus' septic tank into the river below.
At that moment, more than 100 people on the Chicago's Little Lady architecture tour passed underneath the bridge and were showered with the human waste."...
Nasty, Dave, nasty! I'm just so shocked!

Umm, ewww
After more reading on the matter, I have to post some from a first-hand account! (It's rather comical, I think!)

Somehow I got just the lightest little splash on my left shirtsleeve, while people two seats away were left squeezing gritty gunk from their sticky wet hair.
We passed under the bridge and the deluge seemed to pick up, getting stronger as the passengers toward the rear of the boat approached the waterfall. The stuff splat heavily on the deck, dousing dozens of white-haired ladies and gents in nylon windbreakers.
There was confusion.
Then the smell hit us.
An unmistakable stink: porta-potty juice.
"Oh, God." The woman next to me turned and said to no one, "I had my mouth open."

btw, it was 800 gallons of waste! LOL
That's just so sick and wrong.
And yet, I'm sitting here laughing....
ACK! AAAACK! ACK! How horribly nasty!!!!! I read that it happened but I didn't know the actual gory DETAILS until now. I can't imagine. Gosh, talk about having a crappy day!
Oops...800 pounds of sewage...but still!!
Dave would say "Don't drink the water."
That's just nasty.
LOL...you're so right! That's just what he'd say! Nice one!
