Phish used to just be laid back hippies....smelly folks who could handle their weed and enjoy a mellow show. Then Dave Matthews came on the scene and next thing you know, DMB and Phish are blaring out at frat parties. Soon after, their concerts turned into binge drinking and smoking festivals for dipshits in folded baseball caps and khaki pants...fucktards who have no idea how to have a good time without starting a fight and showing how totally cool they are. It's amazing how quickly it happened too. First time I saw DMB, it was in the early 90's at a small bar in Columbia, MO....the show was FREE. About 100 people standing just a few feet away from the band...dancing and trippin' their balls off...sharing music and a good time. Just 2 years later I pay $40 to sit in the back of some big amphitheater to watch DMB go through the motions of playing their top 40 hits while "Dillon" and "Blaine" sing along in the crowd before comparing birkenstocks and starting a fight because they are so totally wasted. *sigh* -- Somewhere between the time you arrive and the time you go May lie a reason you were alive that you'll never know ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
