Posted onA Couple of Random Phish Thoughts
Posted onI’ve been meaning to share these thoughts for a couple of days…
Song names are secondary. Phish has again reached a creative level that rivals any era from their past. The level at which they’re communicating on stage reduces song names to nothing more than a way to keep count. Whether they sing here-or-there for a few minutes, their voices are really just being used as a fifth instrument. This is Phish at its purest form. Remember this next time you find yourself judging a show based on songs played or not played.

Posted onExpectations, Expectations, Expectations
Posted onEvery single Phish show is chock-full of expectations. Some shows bring a lot more hype and excitement than others, yet more often than not, fans start buzzing with anticipation, hopes and expectations long before the band ever sets foot on stage. However, too much pre-show hype surrounding any single Phish show (or run of shows) often leads to a good amount of collective disappointment.

Posted onA Better Dog
The first time I saw you, rope in your mouth
Tugging at your father as he came from behind the barn
Love. Pure.
Often, I feel the same way when I see you running in the fields
You’re a leader, a companion, my best friend
You’ve helped me learn how to be a man
You’ve waited for me, you’ve fought for me, stood up for my pride
You’ve been hurt, I hate seeing you bleed
You’re a guardian, a worker, an intelligent soul
When I lose control, I turn to you for guidance,
You’re always there, with a warm embrace, ready to comfort me
We all have regrets, I’m sure you know mine
You can feel me, I don’t need to speak to you
That you have chosen me to share this ride with, thank you
That you continue to teach me how to live a calm and balanced life, thank you
That you glow with love and kindness, thank you
I am just trying to make myself worthy of your time
That you have patience for me, thank you
I love you Ryu, a better dog does not exist
