read my post ... title and all read it and read it ... how could you ask me to say anything else? read it !!!
Honestly, I'm a fan, saw them a good 70 times, all but about a half dozen or so before 99' with my first show being in 93. I don't have anything against Phish - but they were done around 97 when Trey's ego just completely took over. Sure they didn't call it quits as a band until this year, but their true chemistry as a 'band' (from 97' on I like to refer to them as Trey Anastacio and Phish), ended long ago. Pretty sad. Trey is the jam scene's version of Sting unfortunately.
I'll say it again, maybe even a little changed theres no problem with the Phish & their Phans are great!! my thoughts are my own ... based on ME ya dig?
I tell you what I think on this subject ... not why ... this subject is more personal to me than you must know ... otherwise you would not ask this of me
ok lets ask a different question then?? what bands do you think arent trying too hard to be something they are not?
Considering that I saw my first show when you were 9 years old, and the amount of time I've spent listening, seeing, discussing and meeting the band here where they reside in Vermont, I think I know how personal it can be to someone.
can you not guess? surely you can ... or at least someone else will say i still feel you dont get my point though ... things are different to different people ... I state MY view please understand this
im sorry for my lack of intuition on this subject, but I just cant pick it up ... are you saying it is more personal to you ? or just that you understand my saying how this is a personal issue I think you would be suprised where I had been before I was 9 years old. dont assume
by the way, not at all the only answer to your question I dont assume everyone else is trying to be something they're not
pfft I knew it. so I assume you think that phish is trying too hard to be the grateful dead?? give me a fuckin break!! its only people like you that make that comparison. how are they even like the dead, I wanna know. just because they have a huge following of people that follow them on tour, and they jam?? their music styles arent even similair.
ohhh no ... please dont do this have you not understood a ONE of my FUCKING posts? ? ? ? ? You're crazy man, you're crazy dont fight with yourself bro. please dont put words into my mouth think about what you're wanting me to argue with you about? read my first post ... correction ... understand it im not writing back to you about this subject ... you're sucking me in & im not doing it you're crazy man, you're CCCCKKKKrrrrrAAAzzzzzzziiiiii
Don't want to be an actor pretending on the stage Don't want to be a writer with my thoughts out on the page Don't want to be a painter 'cause everyone comes to look Don't want to be anything where my life's an open book Don't want to be a farmer working in the sun Don't want to be an outlaw always on the run Don't want to be a climber reaching for the top Don't want to be anything where I don't know when to stop Geez a ten year old could write lyrics like that. I never cared for their music either. To each his own!
