Ryan says:
I left with the same feelings I brought
to the table: dedicated, respectable, competent musicians who treat their fans really well.
That said, I still have absolutely zero emotional connect to any of their music (their cover of Neil Young's 'Albuquerque' [fave Neil song] nonwithstanding) -
hearing 'Love Will Keep Us Together' in one scene was like running into an old friend
while being stuck in Buffalo on a business trip. I immediately headed to the iBook afterwards
& dialed up some Squeeze. Again, more power to Phish - not that my feelings will dent them
or their bagazillion-strong fanbase in any kind of way.
Eric was in the studio tonight helping his friend Pete finish some demos,
so I spent an atypical evening in front of a television set - Sundance was airing
the Phish fan documentary
Bittersweet Motel,
which I had been wanting to catch.
