Begging all of you right now: if the biggest piece of sh*t person in this country utters one word about the loss of one of the greatest people to walk this earth-do not give it one iota of air. Ignore it, say nothing, let his evil speak alone. Because he is nothing and she was everything. RIP Dolly.

I am so tired of AI written emailed replies. “Peter thank you so much for reaching out…” - bruh, this is like the 4th exchange within this thread, why tf are you still thanking me for reaching out?!?

Driving home from my summer camp job and heard the news break on NPR. They played Jer covering I shall be released and I had to pull off the road to process and grieve. The perfect song choice. We all knew it was coming, but to think he was only 53 yo is just still so hard to wrap my head around.

Increasing feel like phish has not only perfected the jam band art form but have moved beyond even that lousy label leaving all the rest behind. Maybe a hot take, but 43 years in and they’re still charting new territory. It’s absurd.

One more post and I’ll get off my soapbox. A common feeling among fans is “I don’t want politics in music. I want the space to be inclusive of all.” Sure, but that’s how you get white supremacists feeling emboldened to be themselves at the shows. Feels like a good excuse to post this:

A friend asked for a summary of Phish's improv styles through the 90s, inspired by the past week at MSG. Here's my high-level, deeply unscientific view this was just a text to a friend, if you want to get mad about it go ahead. I'm sure much of it is reductive and wrong. but I don't care.

The couple next to me who’s never seen phish asked me “why are there so many guys here?” - I explained Phish’ prog-rock roots coupled with early songs containing nonsensical lyrical and/or songs about lizard people living in a make believe land and said “it’s pretty nerdy shit”…they understood.
