Virginia Senate Commends DMB

Reader Robbie Byers let us know that the Virginia General Assembly has resolved to commend the Dave Matthews Band for their achievements.

The bill, Senate Joint Resolution Number 346, praises them for their positive economic impact on the state, their charitable works, their benefits to the Charlottesville arts scene, the fame that they've brought to the area, and their "loyalty and commitment to Charlottesville and the Commonwealth."

Two of Virginia's finest representatives Emily Couric (sister of Katie Couric) and Mitch Van Yahres, both from Charlottesville, sponsored the bill.
