NY Daily News Blind Item

Which very married '90s rocker who has been touring this summer has a penchant for the college-age girls who are still lighting incense and listening to his albums? According to our tour bus spy, he brings a different co-ed home just about every night he's on the road.

  1. not sure I'd call him a rocker but the co-ed and incense comments make me think of Dave Matthews. And he is married to his college girlfriend i think...

  2. Definitely Dave Matthews...for shame.

  3. Dave's wife went to Sweetbriar and during her time there I was at another VA women's college. Back then when they were dating/engaged there were rumors that he was hooking up with men. In fact he was pretty openly bi until his handlers decided it was not good for business.

    This could be him but maybe his wife does not care. I could see that with his penchant for both men and women and the fact that he is on tour a lot that they could have an understanding.

    Not a dave fan though. His voice grates

  4. ps. My first thought was Jon bon but I am not sure he is married or touring. He just screams 90s but maybe not incense

  5. Update: JBJ is not married so no way it is him...not that anyone else thought it might be except me haha

  6. Dave Matthews, who else?

  7. Isn't Jon Bon Jovi married to Dorothea-- and has been forever???

    ReplyDelete
  8. Diana you're right. They are high school sweethearts. I hope it isn't JBJ.

  9. Princess Buttercup -- where did you go to school? I, too, went to an all-women's college in VA that wasn't Sweet Briar!

    Good for us, by the way. :-)

    Oh, and this is TOTALLY Dave Matthews. Or, as he's more simply known here in Virginia: Dave. I'd actually like to think that it's not. I'm not a fan of his music, but he seems like a decent dude and he still has a gigantic college-aged following. Still, I can't see anybody else fitting this blind so perfectly.

  10. JBJ is really kind of an 80's rocker, and openly discusses the fact that he does not cheat and that his wife is not all that impressed by him being a rock star and that is what makes him love her.

    I'm going with the DM guess. I don't know what's worse-screwing a different stranger every night or dumping poop all over Chicago tourists, but ewwww!!!!! Groupie sex is just so gross-don't know how anyone can ever want a part of that! Seems highly unsanitary! LOL

  11. My fist guess was Jon Bon Jovi cos he's the only rocker I know of that's always reported as being very happily maried forever, don't know if he's touing at the mo though

    ReplyDelete
  12. I guess I'm still in shock there is only one.

    ReplyDelete
  13. No way is it Springsteen or Jon Bon Jovi - they don't fit the "90's rocker" image (more 80s) and they're not hugely popular with the college crowd. Plus Springsteen, until a few weeks ago, had been in Europe all summer.

    I say Dave Matthews (the members of DMB cheat like crazy, trust me) or Dave Grohl.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Sting and Springsteen didn't just enter the scene in the '90's. I think it's Pearl Jam/Eddie Vedder.

    ReplyDelete
  15. And I would hardly call Dave Matthews a rocker!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Gavin Rossdale. I'd say he's very married to Gwen Stefani.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Dave Grohl is a super nice guy, from what i hear but 90's rocker is way more then Dave M. He's more of a pussy

    Billy Corgan?

    ReplyDelete
  18. I'm not sure I'd call Dave Matthews a "rocker". I don't have a better suggestion as to who this might be, but I don't think that word describes him...

    ReplyDelete
  19. Sadly, some people DO think that Dave rocks out. I know, Harriet. I know. I think he's as much of a badass as John Mayer, which isn't saying much. What else would you call him, though? He's not really a Pop Artist. Jam Bander?

    I still say it's Dave M, based purely on his past and current collegiate following and the fact that DMB tours CONSTANTLY. He's also been married forever, seemingly.

    How many college girls still listen to Pearl Jam? I thought they were lame as shit when I attended college nearly ten years ago. I googled them, and PJ just finished some short-ish tour, and Eddie Vedder is touring by himself for the rest of the summer -- but he's not touring nearly as much as Dave.

    I love Gwen and Gavin so, so, so much. I don't want to think it's him, and he seems to have settled nicely into the role of househusband/kept man. Does he even tour anymore?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Gavin has a hit solo song right now (Love remains the same), and it's being used in a film or commercials, I think. His solo career is fine.

    ReplyDelete
  21. It has to be Dave Matthews with all of the college references. He is real big among the college kids. He is on tour right now as well. Also a lot of people smoke joints and clove cigarettes, burn incense at their tailgate parties. Dave is known to travel by bus.

    I would consider Bon Jovi more of a hair metal artist and his first big break was in 1984. Bon Jovi is not on tour right now either. When the band does tour they usually stay in one city and fly in to gigs.

  22. Jimmy Buffett? He's married and his fans are pretty diverse age wise. Hippie type crowd to boot.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Jimmy Buffett's not really a 90's rocker, he's probably out.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Yeah, the incense kinda give it away as DM. Or maybe one of the Phish guys? Someone with a hippie contingent.

    Gyahh, how I hate clove cigarettes. They burn the living crap outta my contact lenses.

  25. @ princess buttercup

    Would that women's college be the now tragically defunct RMWC? Because if it is, I am also an alum.

  26. The man, the myth, the legend: HOOTIE!

    (OK, I have no idea if that fits, I just wanted to include him in the mix. Back in the day, he was a ginormous manslut.)

    ReplyDelete
  27. Springsteen? LOL. Umm...no. That would be a little hard since his wife is in the band and goes on the road with him. Then again...maybe Bruce & Patti are into threesomes. Ya just never know...

    And BTW - I need to start hanging out here more, cuz I swear you people know even more dirt than I do! First I find out that Randy Travis is gay...and now Dave Matthews is bi? Eff me! Get out of town! Damn...I'm gonna have to rethink songs like "Crush" and "Stay" and a host of others...puts a whole new spin on why all those little ants are marching...

    ReplyDelete
  28. Hey, now that beth mentioned it...I really could also see Darius Rucker for this one (Hootie).

    He's kinda hot for a country music-type guy (sorry, country fans out there! The look and music don't appeal to me but I can certainly appreciate it!).

    I'll be they still tour heavily to colleges and plenty of girls still squeal over him.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Ernestine and Princess Buttercup - where did you go to school? I went to Sweet Briar and was there during the days that Dave Matthews was doing concerts in our quad. Sadly(?), I never went to any of his performances. No clue on the blind.

  30. This is Eddie Vedder. Hes solo touring and Pearl Jam touring all summer. Hes the epitome of 90's rocker..

    ReplyDelete
  31. Do your research before posting - Eddie Vedder isn't married any more.

    ReplyDelete
  32. He's been re-married since Aug. 07. How big is your dick, hun?

    ReplyDelete
  33. My niece that is just starting college went to a Pearl Jam concert last weekend in Detroit. mmmm what has that little girl and her friends been up to?

    ReplyDelete
  34. Check IMDB - how big is your dick sir?
    Vedder married longtime girlfriend Beth Liebling in 1994. The couple divorced in 2000.[39] Vedder is currently in a relationship with model Jill McCormick.[8] He and McCormick have one daughter, Olivia, who was born June 11, 2004, and are currently expecting their second child.[

  39. Greg,
    You make a lot of false accusations for someone who apparently knows nothing! Glad you're not an attorney! EDDIE VEDDER IS NOT MARRIED...PERRIOD! There isn't one thing on the internet to support that. Try reading a few things other than Rollng Stone. Besides, if you've ever been to an Eddie Vedder concert you would know it's not the 'incense burning' type of crowd!

  40. Sorry housewife.. Married 8/07... Turn off ELLEN..Its making you angry..


    :)

    ReplyDelete
  41. Okay. Chill out. I don't like fighting with people on this site, personally, and it stresses me out to see other people doing it!

    My only beef with the Eddie Vedder guess is that Enty used the words "very married" -- Eddie may or may not be married. I truly don't give a shit, but VERY married seems to imply that he's been hitched for way longer than a year, you know? A 2007 wedding would pretty much make a person a newlywed, still. Not VERY married.

    Dave's been married to the same chick since 2000 -- I just looked it up -- and they dated long enough beforehand for him to write a couple of songs for her. He seems devoted to outsiders. That's why I'm still thinking that it's him.

    Greg, The View is WAY more anger-inducing than Ellen. Just saying. Also, I'm not a housewife, but I think it's shitty to knock those who believe it's important to stay home with their kids and have an active and present role in their upbringing. I was an only child/latchkey kid with a single parent, and there were lots of times when I longed to come home to a parent instead of an empty home. I also know PLENTY of dudes who would be content with the role of househusband, so let's stop with the sexist bullshit, ummkay?

  43. Oh, and Cheryl -- I went to Hollins. But I still like you.

    Totally kidding! There was a girl in one of my grad courses last semester who attended SB as an undergrad and she wore clothing with her alma mater label ALL OVER every sleeve, leg, etc. I was like, "okay, okay! We GET it!"

    I'd stock up on Hollins hoodies and socks and whatnot if I were getting a degree at Sweet Briar right now, though. :-) Healthy competition between girls is just fine by me.

    Oh, and my deepest sympathies, Niecey. I've read about RMWC it's tumultuous changes since all this co-ed bullshit began, and I really feel for the student body. Hollins trustees actually ousted our former Prez when rumblings began about eventually letting in boys. Bless them.

  44. Greg -- I actually attend an Ashtanga class three times a week. Thanks for the advice, though. Pal.

  45. Ernestine, I'm promoting you to chief of police. You go, boss! :)

  46. Greg,
    As soon as your mommy unlocks the child-block from your Internet you can do a little more research! :-)

    Wikepedia shows him unmarried as of August 2008.

  47. Roxy and Ernestine.. Poor lambs. Housewifes who run to Oprah to hear about the latest in gossip.. Keep thinking that Wikipedia is the 'end all' for information. Maybe Ellen and Regis will have more info on this for you.. lol AAhhh gotta love the housewifes with a 'tude. lol

    Hats off to ya ladies.. And oh, my dinner was cold last night. NOT acceptable.

    :P

    ReplyDelete
  48. Awww. A cold dinner. So, so, so sad. Gee, Greg, you MUST be a bachelor! They NEVER know how to operate microwaves correctly.

    How WEIRD, though. It's terribly difficult for my puny little mind to fathom why such a suave n' cerebral gem like you isn't positively CRAWLing with female attention! You must have to CONstantly bat the ladies away from that pendulous nutsack and giGANtic peen of yours!

    Massive insecurity in the guise of cliched chauvinism is SUCH a turn-on! My stifled and domesticated little undies are soaking wet just THINKING about it! To quote Sophie B. Hawkins: Damn, I wish I was your lover. *sigh*. I wish I were single, just like you! I'm sure you're a TIGER in the sack! A three-minute man, at least!

    P.S. Oh, and Rolling Stone became musically irrelevant the day Jann Wenner decided to put Britney Spears on the cover.

    *mwah.*

  49. Yea yea .. Just make sure my dinner is ready and the house is clean..

    :P

  50. You mean as opposed to the 12 year-old prepubescent boys who can't spell housewives and think the Rolling Stone is the BIBLE! Why do you keep correlating Wikepedia with Oprah - you silly little boy...

    ReplyDelete
  51. Stop wasting time online and clean the house. Its a mess. And change your housecoat. Dinner better be ready when I get home.
