That's a baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad trip, man.

Major bummer.

I'm not into Phish, but I did own "Pitcher of Nectar" back in the 90's... never really got into it, although I tried. I can't hate - they're obviously amazing musicians, and I can only imaging the overall experience of a Phish concert if you're on the right wavelength. Lord knows there's plenty of people I like & respect who love Phish (and the Dead, and Widespread Panic, and so on and so forth), and they never give me shit for my love of thrash, or art-punk, or indie rock... actually, it was always my indie-rock friends who would give me shit for liking non "indie-approved" musics. So I say get down with your bad self NW! And if you feel like noodle dancing, that's cool too - I'll be the short-haired dummy headbanging like I've still got my old metal hair over in the corner.

Oh, and also, anyone who's got the commitment to see SIXTY SHOWS of a single band deserves major props for serious rock & roll fortitude.

Nice! I can't say that I ever got near that level of taking it to the man, but I can definitely relate, both to the HS prejudice against "weird" music (sounds like rural Maine and South Carolina have a lot in common), and to having to find ways to work the system. In my case, though, my dad was my co-conspirator, and used to write notes asking me to be excused from school for a "cultural" event when in fact we were going to see AC/DC or Jimmy Page at the Portland Civic Center.
