Phish Breaking Up
I am happy to report that one of the most overrated bands in the history of music is breaking up. Trey Anastasio, the man who was almost responsible for ruining Primus by distracting Les Claypool with his highly talented form of boring rock and roll, has announced that Phish will be breaking up following their next tour. The band has one more album (that probably sounds like all their others) coming out on June 15th called Undermind. The band will tour in support of that album, further bleeding a fanbase that is too high on drugs to know any better.
While the majority of the music loving public is celebrating today, there are a few “victims.” Makers of patchouli are said to be mourning the loss, along with all the people who would braid Phish fans’ hair in trade for drugs, Volkswagen bus owners, acid dealers and of course pot paraphernalia merchants. This might be the straw that breaks the camel’s back for these folks. They might have to get jobs, move out of their parents’ basements and listen to something other than the 2.7 million taped Phish concerts they have collected over the years, despite not having large variations in the set list from night to night.
Well, I bid Phish good riddance. And good luck Phish fans.
(If this article pisses you off then we are laughing at you instead of with you. Think about it.)

If you become too accepting of a condition that you really don’t want to encourage, you might just end up with unintended consequences.
Phish Breaking Up

By the lack of responses, I would say that we don’t agree with you on this one, Craig.

Sounds like you’ve attempted to dismiss Phish fans as a cult group of people who act as lemings in pursuit of crappy music. Not really pissed about your comment as most people who really know nothing about the Phish culture or improvisational music tend to make biased and uninformed editorials. A similar rebuttal observes that the monochromatic style of your compositions reflect a boring and prohibitive musical palatte. Thus, with a vision that has such a finite scope, how can you appreciate the efforts of Phish? You may find humor in my reply as I find your opinions equally entertaining.
