: do you like phish? because i have an extra ticket to this long island show, and i was wondering if you wanted to go? let me know:) suzie

But then I realized that I only disliked jam bands that were trying to play up to kids who wished they were old enough to see The Dead (Phish, Rusted Root, etc)... and that I only hated jam bands that played to frosted-hair-fratboys who wear that one little hemp bracelet in hopes of occasionally nailing a hippie chick in the back of their Escalade (Dave Matthews Band, Dave Matthews Band, Dave Matthews Band, etc)...

And that some jam bands, ones that were actually trying to do new things with music, were quite good... Moxy Fruvous, Hyponotic Clambake... and had something to say about mixing genres of music and so forth.

PS- Since some people don't seem to understand the idea of exaggerating your opinions for comic effect, I just wanted to note that I TOTALLY COMPLETELY meant everything I said up there... and it's TOTALLY COMPLETELY NOT that I just dislike Phish's album stuff and some of their bootlegged jams are kind of nice and I just also wanted to note that I BLINDLY AND ABSOLUTELY believe that the only people who listen to Dave Matthews are frat-boy daterapists who listen to pretend to be more sensitive than they actually are. My friends and I TOTALLY didn't sneak backstage at Horde 96 and discover what cool guys various members of Rusted Root were, despite our general dislike of most of their tunes. Furthermore, no one's ever kidding or exaggerating on the internet, there is no grand comic tradition of wildly exaggerating your opinions going back much further than Mark Twain, through Lenny Bruce, George Carlin and Bill Hicks and on today into
David Cross and Lewis Black just to name a few. I TOTALLY believe that Phish are the modern day Nazi party and COMPLETELY need their bongs smashed so that history doesn't repeat itself.
