Perhaps add "Christian" after Defector's article this week about two old Jewish men being assholes leading to a general conversation over how to differentiate between the good Jews and the bad ones...

Pointing to a one day where it got into the upper teens (and in Seattle proper it stayed in the mid 20s), says to me - as someone who grew up on the east coast - that there is little change in temperatures.
Sure we get a week or so of winter and summer each year, but it's mostly spring/fall.

My best guess is that since Trey said, "Please don't go away," at the end of Bowie, someone was all, "Fuck you! You're not the boss of us! We're all going to go away!" (4/4)

and you can hear Trey announce the break as usual instead of saying, "Please exit orderly" or something.
I wonder what would make someone do that. I could get pulling the alarm if you didn't study for your test at Keene State College and wanted an extension, but to end a concert? (3/4)

The first time Phish played on this date wasn't exactly the most auspicious. On 2/22/90, someone apparently pulled the fire alarm during the set break which ended the show. I know it happened then because the first set circulates (2/4)

I wrote "good Friday thread" to you elsewhere and my phone tried to capitalize "good" so, yeah, it's your culture. Don't expect us to just accept Christianity as neutral.

Self destructiveness is cool in a way that goofiness can never be.
Is Weird Al considered cool? I think that’s more popular. It might be back to my earlier thought that self destructive is inherently hot.
Really good Friday post!

Or - still thinking - maybe it’s temperament. Darkness is cool whereas optimism and silliness isn’t. The period where Trey got deep into drugs and lost the humor was the one time that they approached coolness.
Like if I try to think of cool comedians, it would be SNL in the 70s or Lenny Bruce…

I guess maybe the difference between cool and freak is, ironically enough, conforming.
Coolness is a rebel who only breaks in certain ways. Go outside that and you’re a freak.
Or maybe it’s simply cool = freak + strong sexual charisma.
Using your post as a template to think outloud.

This was my question about Phish. They’re not popular (even though they can draw crowds of 30k on a regular basis) and they’re not cool in the sense of non-mockable.
I guess they’d be freaks but I feel like not caring what people think about your art and just doing it is the epitome of coolness.

but it played the role of quasi-bustout, a song that was just rare enough to get people happy when it came out, but common enough that could do that many times. (3/3)

And then you have Corinna. Reasonably common in the late 80s and then not played until Big Cypress. And then it would show up once every year or two. Sometimes it would skip years, some years would get an extra performance, (2/3)

Ask Marco Esquandolis.
If he doesn't answer, set the gearshift for the high gear of your soul.

Huh, they have a 2 album set of covers. Who knew?
People who follow their careers more closely than me. That's who I guess.

If we even grab scissors now, it's Churu time in the household or so BarTap think.

I don't know what if anything changes if all of the nominees are confirmed with party line votes. It would look better I guess...

It is very weird. Maybe they just don’t look at the setup.

I read it backwards at first before continuing, eg “how dare they let women vote!”
But wow! That’s amazing!

Little did we know what was to come when we returned.
It turns out that we would all need a rescue squad, but for then "it's Phish in Mexico time!" (3/3)

as this was the first show since he was trapped on the platform on New Year's Eve.
However, something was looming. I have a sticker from that event of a Corona bottle since we were in Mexico and there was this weird virus that was kind of in the news. (2/3)

You know how I say that there are no wrong opinions about music.
Well I take that back ;)
First 1991 was a great year, but Bobby singing Jerry songs? No thanks!
