A couple on their way to see Dave Matthews in concert in Hershey, Penn. got quite a surprise when they saw a man who looked just like the singer stranded on the side of the road -- and it turned out to really be him.

After weeks of having his singing style compared to Dave Matthews, ‘American Idol‘ contestant Phillip Phillips finally took the plunge last week and covered one of Matthews’ songs on an episode of the show. Naturally, an intrepid reporter for New York Magazine’s Vulture asked Matthews to give his thoughts on the performance — and although he admitted he hadn’t heard it, he was willing to weigh in.
