If you take the assumption of drug use out of the equation and YouTube never removes it, because it's just some guy grooving away, then what? It's still malicious? Because why?

because i would be fired for being caught dancing like that. looking like im tripping, whether i am or not, would not be tolerated in my workplace. if phish isnt a place to be free and enjoy yourself (responsibly i might add) then where is?

i hold these standards of my own voyeuristic behavior the same for anyone, celebrity (as you referenced above) or phish fan. i just hope others will do the same. i do appreciate you playing devils advocate in this and speaking valid points. i just hope 'the community' can be better than that kind of behavior. perhaps its naive or idealistic. but i think it is, or should be, another one of the great things that sets phish shows and festivals apart from others.
