Darius Rucker says the media got over-excited about his recent misdemeanor arrest: “When you’re known as the nice guys and the good guys… people want to take any chance to knock you down”

1. I must be misremembering it because I remember it being reported like any other celebrity arrest would be then the world kept turning.

2. Back in the day in Columbia SC I lived a couple doors down from his apartment, and he was a dick. Hopefully, fame humbled him?

3. When I was younger, my dad drove a chartered bus, limos, stuff like that. He drove Hootie and the Blowfish around in Phoenix. They were doing a DARE show apparently. And he told me that afterwards he spent several hours driving them around to find drugs. (Weed I presume)

4. He looks like a black version of Dave Ramsey in this photo.

5. Poor Hootie…how narcissistic do you have to be to think that everyone just views you as “a nice guy and a good guy”…maybe just keep to making soft rock for white people to dance horribly to after too many light beers my dude.

6. I didn’t even hear he got arrested, when and for what?

7. You tell em Hootie

8. Just let him cry
