Probably fair, but I’m extremely bearish on the lyrics. Some of the most cringy stuff in ham band land…and that’s saying A LOT.

We talking about Goose or Eggy, bc that is 🎯 on the Goose?

WSP

It’s at the point that it is unserious to think baseball is a competitive sport. It’s simply not. In the last 30 years only two teams in the bottom half of the payroll have won the WS.

For the 2025 season, the Dodgers have spent a record half-billion dollars on player salaries, benefits and luxury taxes. Their tax payment of $138 million exceeds the Opening Day payrolls of 13 MLB teams last season.

Just repeating what I said above: Seems like an incredibly dumb take. Shall we go year by year. Some years less than others, but gtfo. Come at me with arguments, I’m ready to roll.

Super profound!

Red Bird might be the most terrible lyric ever written. I’m sincerely impressed someone who is a professional songwriter could write something that bad.

I doubt this clarifies things. And so I’ll respectfully drop it.

I’m saying your romanticized picture of equality is basically irrelevant in the modern music scene. Phish isnt doing anything unique. They arent anti-equality (as your language seems to suggest), they’re just a successful band that is moving with industry trends. Gizz and Neil are rare exceptions 🤷‍♂️

I’m saying basically everyone in the industry does it…so why target Phish? KGLW seems to be singular in a whole lot of ways. And, yes, Goose is among the worst offenders with VIP early entry. At least Phish does the (still problematic) lottery.

Please stop ✋

Name a legit band outside of Gizz and Neil Young that doesnt do this. Goose is probably the worst, tbh.

But they can’t charge what Phish does? They have literal VIP entry. Acknowledge this?

I also think a big part of it is the Phish experience has become so stratified between the haves and have-nots with VIP packages, Platinum tickets, walking in the rail riders, etc. Equality breeds community, and modern Phish doesn’t believe in equality for all fans.

Exactly the same for Goose?

Appreciate your trolling ability!

I think it is largely because they write lyrical masterpieces like Slow Ready. The poetic skill is there to see. Only the haters can deny.

Accusing everyone who criticizes a certain promoter an anti-semite is not hostile at all. Sure.

You seem like a really nice person. Dig your vibe.

I wrote my dissertation on Emmanuel Levinas and post-Shoah theology/politics. Happy to have any convo you want about anti-semitism. I somehow suspect the convo will end here. But seriously, hit me up.

We literally live in the dumbest of times. Get a grip. As a militant leftist, I’m here to say that not everything needs to be reduced to identitarian conflict. Go smell some roses.

Pickin’ Up the Pieces is my cut off that set. But I’ve only listened on Nugs…will check the youtube for the Ribs.

I have. Jimmy blows him away 🤷‍♂️

Maybe so, maybe not. But Trey is the superior electric guitarist. Billy knee jerks to Allman riffing almost every time.

Billy’s just not that compelling electric. See 8/6 and 8/7. He’d do better with Dead tunes than Moma or Evolve, but still. By way of contrast, Billy publically embarrassed Trey on the acoustic songs 8/6 and 8/7. Trey gets the nod because it’s an electric set up, imho.

🤔😂

I’m begging you to explain what you would want here? Like Other 1>Stella clearly is preferable. I just don’t think SOTM>Sugaree is a crime at all. It’s reasonable (not exceptional Dead).

Mayer isnt that bad on vocals. And Sturgill isnt Waylon Jennings. It’s murky 🤷‍♂️

Unfortunately, this is a bad take. This band is restricted by Bobert and rythym. That’s it. Anyone in the lead spot suffers and is humiliated in the process…but banks $$$
