I sort of get where the blogger is coming from. I almost agree with him wholeheartedly, expect for the fact I would not have followed YEM with Ol Dirty Bastard. I went through my "do I need Phish phase" after the breakup. I probably went months without listening, by far the longest stretch of my adult life. But I came back(and they came back), because, honestly, there really isn't another band that can get me to the place Phish gets me. So enjoy your gangsta rap there blogger, enjoy bumping UM, or raging to the Biscuits, because while you are absolutely correct that many of us(myself included I am sure) miss so much music because we obsess about Phish so much.... I honestly don't care. I'll be 50 years old, embarassing my daughter's friends by playing the Hampton Halley's on repeat. My time without Phish reminded me that there shouldn't be a time in my life without Phish.
