VH1 Interview on Lillywhites, BS

By Waldo Jaquith
Steevin Smith at VH1 has a brief-but-interesting interview with the band, entitled "Dave Matthews: Marinate Before Busting." The focus of the article is on the Lillywhite Sessions and Busted Stuff. In it, Dave describes the process for creating each night's setlist ("I always write out a list of songs and then run it by Fonzie [Lessard] and Carter..."), they admit that they'll play seldom-heard songs for insistent crowds, but also say that if people bug them too much to play a song (ie, the "Pig" campaign during last year's tour), there's "not a chance" that they'll play it any time soon. Thanks to Jimmy Barrera for the tip.
