I have been a Phish fan for YEARS, and I know exactly what I’m talking about. Many people remember the Mike Gordon thing when I bring up Phish. Most phans know it was bullshit, but non-phans don’t. The thing about Phish has always been that real phans know a ton about the guys in the band, and non-phans know virtually nothing other than “they sound like the Dead a little.”

When things like this happen and get reported by major news outlets, it makes an impression and it just burns me up that *this* is the stuff people remember.

Mike couldn’t be further from a child molester. He was taking pictures. How many children are photographed every year? And as far as Trey goes. So what
He was allegedley taking pharmies. First of all, these are drugs the goverment deems safe enough for the general public to take. Second of all something like 3 of every 10 people are on some kind of script drug. The chances of anyone reading this having a friend who might leave their drugs in a car is pretty high.

So if youre gonna go saying youre a hardcore fan and all your other whoa is me bullshit maybe you should start thinking aobout two things.

Phish’s break up is the obvious outset and acceptance of the US becoming a police state. Secondly if anyone is so concerened with peoples feelings and reputations maybe you should ignore the propoganda people love to feed on in the media, and start challenging your local governments and reporting institutions. They’re the one’s who not only love to smear good peoples names through the dirt, but they ALSO MAKE MONEY doing it.

y’all get your shit straight. the end of the world’s coming. For real!
