Band settles over sewage dumping
The Dave Matthews Band has agreed to pay $200,000 (£105,000) after their tour bus dumped human waste on a boatload of tourists in Chicago. The band's bus dumped the raw sewage while crossing a bridge over the Chicago River in August 2004, directly onto the heads of a cruise organised by The Eagles Fan Club. Last month, the driver of the bus pleaded guilty to the charges, but admitted that it had been "quite a laugh anyway." Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan called the settlement "reasonable and appropriate given the public health threat cause by this foul incident." The money from the settlement will go into a fund for environmental protection and other projects. The band also agreed to take steps to avoid any repeat incident, by recording when and where its tour buses empty septic tanks. Summing up the judge said "I always thought the Dave Matthews band was full of shit, looks like I was wrong." Indeed.
