Steve Silberman is so pissed about this Tylenol bullshit that he's screaming from the afterlife he didn't even believe in.

Increased rates of autism are due to testing, a broadened definition, and greater awareness. It's not vaccines. It's not Tylenol.

It's like his work never happened.

Hopped up with energy and firing away, the #GratefulDead stormed Rochester on this day in '79. Jerry is on fire from the get-go Half Step> Franklin's, but the crown jewel of this show is definitely the 30 massive, ferocious and percussive minutes of Scarlet >Fire

36 years ago, Jimmy Cliff joined the Jerry Garcia Band to sing The Harder They Come. I can only imagine this was a special night at the Greek.

“a researcher who was not involved in the study called the results “remarkable” because they highlight a path to a frustratingly elusive goal in medicine — harnessing a person’s own immune defenses to target common solid tumor cancers.”

His bravery after what he has experienced and endured shows his incredible indomitable spirit even the Nazis couldn’t crush.

Off the top of my head (this is really hard):

But there's close to 20 others that are right there and could be on the list if I do this again in 5 minutes. #phish
Prompted by a recent discussion, this is a very not-new question that never really gets old. What are the five best Phish shows you’ve seen? Or, your *favorite* five if that’s a different answer.

My answers are standard, but not (imo) in a bad way.

What teases did everyone hear in Ruby Waves last night?

For sure a Moma/BEK, Frankie Sez, Wolfman’s - maybe Mt Jam but think that was Fuego.

Anyone happen to have an extra for 12/29 Phish @ MSG? Had a ticket, but then I didn’t. I am in all for the other three and happy to share with anyone kind enough to sell me a solid seat (100s, low row 200s ideally).
