Trey Anastasio, Page McConnell, Mike Gordon and Jon Fishman ??? appeared together to accept a lifetime achievement award at the Jammy Awards in New York.

    I don't know about y'all but I'm going to quit my job, load up the BMW, stop by mom and dad's for a loan from my trust fund, let my dreads grow back out and go on tour. I'll be sucking on balloons in the parking lot of the Hampton Coliseum while you suckers are working in your dead-end wall street jobs.

    I remember going to Hershey Park with my parents and little sister when I was like 13 and the whole last half of the trip we were stuck in traffic with what seemed like every VW bus in the eastern US. We were all like WTF why are so many hippies going to Hershey Park? I can tell you one thing, the park did not smell like chocolate that day.

    font class="post"1b,121b,121Phish are taper-friendly, and thus are not truly "bootlegs". Phishheads will get upset.

    Am I the only only person on here who could not tell you one Phish album title, song title, song lyric, band member name, etc?b,121b,121Am I a bad person that I have already convinced myself I don't like them only based on the handful of dumb ass fans i've met in my life?
