AboutMatt Maguire Expertise I am new to allexperts, but have plenty of knowledge and experience in the realm of Sublime. Guarantee: you will receive an answer within 2 days of posting the question -- I have no feedback so far and would like to build some.
I can answer most questions about the band, the significance of the lyrics, the show dates,
the unreleased albums and tracks, misinformation, and, above all, I am an expert on their
influences and related music.
Experience I have been a huge fan for 14 years, I ran a server which distributed Sublime's live and unreleased music 24/7 for 4 years, I have answered questions about the band daily for years on their old website, and I know some of the largest collectors in the world. I created the 5 CD bootleg "Rewind Selector" which documents the influences of Sublime and was the topic of a Spin Magazine interview.
Education/Credentials I did not study music in college, but I majored in English, so I can write a clear response. I worked as a research assistant in the past, so I have skills in research if I need to figure out an answer.
Past/Present Clients Sublime fans aren't my clients, but I have distributed swag and rare tracks to all those who want them for years at no cost.

Answer Janette --
I've seen lots of Sublime art and Opie Ortiz works over the years, but I don't recall seeing the 40oz Sun smiling. Quite the opposite. There're 2 suns that Opie drew; the 40oz to Freedom cover art:
EDIT: Janette -- you nominated me for expert of the month, but gave me the lowest ratings in every category that I have ever received on AllExperts. I am assuming that this was a mistake since my answer was on time and thorough. You can have the rating raised if you wish by emailing experts@about.com (http://www.allexperts.com/user.cgi?m=10&subject=Feedback) requesting that they revise your rating. Otherwise poor ratings can lead to the removal of experts. Thanks, Matt
