Nu Alpha Omega
Page 34
It will surprise precisely zero of my friends that I finally worked Dave Matthews Band into a book. The only surprising bit about it is that it took me so long. Mason seemed like the perfect conduit. Any guy who’s ever learned to play the guitar for the sole purpose of getting laid (that’s 100% of guys who know how to play guitar, for all you statisticians keeping track at home) knows how to play at least one Dave Matthews Band song. Usually “Crash Into Me” but if they’re really committed to lying with a woman or man in the biblical sense, they’ll go the extra mile and learn the fingering for “Satellite.”
I’m fairly sure that there’s nothing in Nu Alpha Omega that would prompt the demigods of DMB to take legal action against me, but if there is, please don’t. It would “Crush” me. (Shit you guys, this book is so full of DMB song references. At one point I was like, is this “Too Much”? And there I go again.)
By the way, if there’s anyone reading this who has a connection to Dave or Stefan or Carter or Boyd or, hell, Tim, would you please let them know I’d very much like to speak with them on an urgent matter of the heart? Thanks.
