Emily Kraus and her boyfriend were on their way to Hershey, Pennsylvania, to see Dave Matthews perform, and were running late as it was.
That's why they almost didn't stop for a hitchhiker by the side of the road who turned out to be Dave Matthews himself.
The singer had gone for a bike ride and suffered a flat tire, stranding him in the middle of nowhere.
"I did not have a cell phone on the bicycle. So I thought, 'Shit'," Matthews would later tell the audience at Hersheypark Stadium.

I saw this last week in the Philly Inkwaster. I love Dave Matthews; I would've picked him up in a heartbeat!
-
I wouldn't recognize Dave Matthews if he spit on me, so if he were hitchhiking, I wouldn't have picked him up. :whistling:

I never, ever, under any circumstances, pick up hitch hikers. I pass up kids and others struggling through driving rain storms, blizzards, etc., that in past years I'd offer to help, since in blammo's world there's every chance I'd be prosecuted for some crime I did not commit.

It's pretty sad when we have to think this way, but out of self-preservation, I agree.
The last time I picked up a hitchhiker was in 1978. I picked up a guy who appeared as if he'd run out of gas. He was weird, even creepy. I got him to a gas station, where he managed to pick up a couple of gallons in a borrowed can, and I got him back to his car.
Ever since then I always had the sense that I'd dodged a real bullet. And I wasn't going to push my luck.

Just imagine: You pick up a kid walking in a blizzard, and take him/her home.
Later the cops knock at your door with an arrest warrant for child abuse or some deviant sexual act with the kid. The cops search EVERYTHING in your home, take your computer(s), and humiliate you and your spouse.
Can you ever truly restore your good record and good behavior?

Ultimately helping somebody like that (and whether or not the "help" is legitimate is an entirely different question) just isn't worth the potential aggravation and potential for something really going off the rails.
Any charge of deviancy would have to have evidence, and with DNA being available these days, the likelihood of being stuck with a charge like that is pretty small, but why take the risk?

Not small when the damned media get ahold of it.
Just worth me taking any risk at all.

MEXICAN BORDER RT. 10---------Coming cross country, 1970's lots of Military taking that route were given instructions on how to stay safe. Seems there had been quite a few problems crossing country.
The Mexicans would take their kids, cover them with ketchup and have them lay on the side of the road at night. Family's heading for next duty station would stop to help and find themselves car jacked.
Problems was our cars and trucks had the military stickers on the bumpers so when far from a military instillation the people knew we were not local. We did not have cell phones so we had CB's and talked to the long haul drivers, never drove at night in the deep south, wasn't the residents but the small town corrupt cops that would rob you blind. It was the Coast to Coast 18 wheelers that gave us most of our safety tips, they saw us with 4 kids, a huge dog all riding in a Blazer and handed us off to other truckers headed our way when they had to head in another direction.
We against advice brought along our 200 pound ST. Barnard, This was not in August a good time to bring that breed of dog across the desert. Good thing we did, there were a time or two that having that dog kept people away from us. We were stopped just once by the State police that had just gotten a quick look at us and wanted to know if we had stolen a baby cow somewhere in Texas, a State that seems to never end.
Only under blizzard conditions will I pick up anyone in trouble, today, who knows these people are facing death, it is worth a chance.

I don't think he is raving. He is one of my favorite musicians of the current time period. He can jam like no other. I am sure he is a liberal but I have never heard him be raving.
