To put it into perspective, “6-7” is kinda like Pee Wee’s “Word of the Day.” But every day. Temporarily.

America 2025, where “illegal” is just a pronoun for immigrants. :(

America has turned into a really weird game of Capture the Flag between Republicans vs Democrats.
Nobody cares about right or wrong, truth or lies. They just care about their side winning. And that’s a losing game for us all.
Remember when the whole country was the team? Team USA?

Getting involved with @mbird.org and the Phish Studies Conference has been one of the highlights of the last few years. Check out my hetty talk from the '24 conference on Phish, Aristotle, German Modernism and, of course, puppets.

It’s wild to think that we only discovered the Titanic’s wreckage 40 years ago. First, an unsinkable ship. And then an unsinkable country. Both wrecks were once thought unimaginable.

WHY SHOULD THE GOVERNOR HAVE ALL THE FUN? TIME TO HAVE SOME FUN OF OUR OWN. TIME FOR EVERYONE TO LAUGH AT THE JOKE OF AN EMPEROR. DON’T BE SCARED. PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

Ok, Phish, I see what you did w/ Devotion to a Dream and I raise you The Line: low-key shelve under-appreciated songs, bust them out years later during a peak-level tour, and everyone leaves happy. The new becomes old and the old become VINTAGE. Love these 3.0 bust-outs this tour. Love this tour!

I’ll have to relisten when not caught up in the adrenaline of the win, but that Sand may be my favorite jam from the summer so far. Creative and exploratory, four as one, with the 2025 Hose Jam to bring it home. #phish #colorcommentary

Phish Geekery: Don't know why this has gone without comment by Phish commentators, but the "Devotion to a Dream" bust-out last night had a nice callback built in - it was last played in the same venue... nine years earlier.
