He was ok in Ghost but I never liked him.

Wrong forum. And already done. And the Talmud teaches us that is it unwise to speak ill of the dead, you Gentile fucknut.

So we still going to build a windmill generator?

What I'm really interested in mounting turbines to my tin foil hat that can harness the deflected energies of mind control beams. Do you have any of those?

Hmmm... a tinfoil propeller beanie... I'll get right on that.

This is news and or current affairs, How the fuck can it be the wrong forum?

I have no problem speaking ill of the dead, mostly they deserve it.

I like the 'Dead. Never could stand Phish, though.

Never liked Phish till I worked security for them. They're pretty cool cats - I was working VIP and they gave me and 3 kids from Philly who were working parking a private concert for about an hour and a half. I was pretty toasted and the kids from Philly were all on acid. It was hilarious - the muddy field they were parking cars in looked like a modern art installation by the end with cars at wild angles stuck up to their axles all over the place across a huge field.

Also Phish is from my backyard almost literally. When I was growing up, 3/4 of them lived in my tiny population 2,000 hometown.

But yeah, the only way they're really tolerable to listen to is live.

I have a couple of widespread panic CD's from my days working in Tahoe

ADMIN!!!

Please change the name if this forum to "I admit I like shitty hippie jam band confessional ragtime review".

k thx.

Man, back at Anti-Social headquarters we had this system where you'd upload your MP3s to a server and it would then randomly pick what to play based on who was logged into it.

Well, as luck would have it there were like three dirty hippies working there who put up all their Phish bootleg jam session MP3s, and since they worked there of course they were always logged into the server, right?

Man, that shit sucked. Like, for real. That thing seemed to pick nothing but half hour Phish jams all day long. It got to the point where we had to ban any and all MP3s greater than a certain file size.

Yeah, the only way they're really tolerable to listen to is live.

To be honest I've never actually heard a single song from Phish. I'd never heard almost any Grateful Dead until relatively recently, which may be why I don't mind it.

Kind of similar. Simplistic lyrics, non-complex songs that improve with improvisations. Honestly I feel like the studio albums are supposed to be reference materials. You listen to what the basic song is supposed to sound like and then at the concert you hear them go on wild tangents. The simpler and more familiar the tune, the better the experience.

You do have to be in the right mood for it though, and yes chemicals can help. I'm not the biggest fan of jam-bandery, but I can appreciate it when I'm in the right mood.

Being stinky and dirty and wearing birkenstocks and having dreads or hair that's on it's way to dreads helps too.

Ultimate Frisbee skills are may or may not enhance the listening experience.

Hey man, it's your trip.

I just coughed and squirted wine up my nose. Wow that sucked. I dont know what it had to do with Phish tho.
