There's something Satanic and supernatural about the delusional hold that band has on people.
I generally avoided him.

Ive met/known people who have followed the Grateful Dead or Phish. I still have contempt for them but I accept that its a thing.Kimmelweck wrote: ↑16 Dec 2021, 9:30pmApparently it was in the mid-late 90s.revbob wrote: ↑16 Dec 2021, 9:25pmThat's a thing?Kimmelweck wrote: ↑16 Dec 2021, 9:21pmI knew a guy in grad school in the mid-late 90s who had been there for 7 years working on his master's degree because he kept disappearing for months at a time to follow Rush.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑04 Dec 2021, 4:46pmRight.

Re: Oh Canada!
A couple of my best friends have seen Phish well over 200 times. I’ve seen them twice, when they played within 45 minutes of here – last time was about 15 years ago. That’s more than enough for me. It was fun, but not because of the music. I can’t imagine the 7 night stands in Vegas or at MSG that they travel to regularly. When I stop over at their houses, I’m forever trying to turn them on to good music. We have a running gag that Phish should hire me to blast Clash tunes over a loudspeaker, harshing everyone’s mellow, to clear the parking lot after a show.revbob wrote: ↑16 Dec 2021, 9:38pmIve met/known people who have followed the Grateful Dead or Phish.

Wouldn’t surprise me. Though I doubt he even needed the master’s degree, more of a vanity thing, because his family was rich as fuck.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑16 Dec 2021, 10:09pmI expect he's in prison now.Kimmelweck wrote: ↑16 Dec 2021, 9:21pmI knew a guy in grad school in the mid-late 90s who had been there for 7 years working on his master's degree because he kept disappearing for months at a time to follow Rush.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑04 Dec 2021, 4:46pmRight.

If you’re a Canadian Boomer or Xer, you almost certainly still love Bob and Doug. I still spin their album from time to time and love it all over again.Sparky wrote: ↑24 Dec 2021, 9:35amGood one, I was hoping for a video of those guys, love their old shows.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑24 Dec 2021, 7:43amhttps://www.cbc.ca/radio/costofliving/s ... -1.6293759

Just saw that clip a few days ago and thought it was hilarious. Thanks for giving me a reason to post it.
