neither of those articles said that,source please?? dealers pollute the scene?? lol thats a bit hypocritical coming from you aint it?? i know over the years ive seen you at least a couple times recommend kids go to festivals to find a hook up for psychedelics..
oh and to put this debate to rest, yes PHISH SUCKS!!!!!!!!!! whats the old joke?? "hey man the drugs are gone,this band sucks,lets go".. the drugs are the only reason half of the folks followed phish back in the day.
most people would call that snitching, then again gregg allman is a snitch. but that never stops heads from going to alman brothers shows.
i can honestly say that a LOT of phish fans i've met do come from upper income levels. phish does seem to have a lot of yuppies as fans. but on a better note, mike gordon and leo kottke made great music together. you can't exactly be a shitty guitar player if leo kottke allows you on stage to perform with him.
Neither of the articles said that the arrests happened inside the concert either. The article says that the 200 cops where in place through out the city. The venue used privet security as they always do, just like they did in 96, 97 ,99 ,03 ,04 ,& 06 when phish was there. I mean its common sense to anyone whose ever been to a multi day large music even... people will get pulled over on the way and searched, people will pick a corner and break out the nitrous(idiots), and people will be hustling their shit in the lot... thats where the arrests happen. I see almost 100 live acts a year and I have only seen people arrested inside a concert venue twice.. and both times where for fighting. I do believe that dealers pollute the scene, i don't recommend buying from them. I recommend making friends where ever you go, especially at music events. Friends always have the best shit. Agreed.... Dealers pollute the scene, The kids that buy their shit are the pollution.
I wonder if I could hit Trey in the head with a 9v battery from 50yards.. His head is as big as rabbit's right?
think about what you just said...how could anyone deal with these ridiculous "hippy" fests without being completely loaded on something. Its just time for these things to go away period..the only music "fests" that matter are things like CMJ and SXSW, Terrastock ones where there aren't massive crowds of fuckfaces acting all trippy
I could hit Gregg in the head with a battery too.. His head is bigger.. And fatter.. I bet I could get a zip on a AA at 75yards with him. Good phone battery might dink off his head and hit Derek in the big nose.. Id love to be the guy that was known to hit Trey in the head with a battery..
