I so enjoyed reading this. As a late-comer (thanks to my 30-year-old son), I really connect with your message and careful explanations of the music I'm still feverishly learning.
As one who went from terrible life choices from 1975-1986 to extremely driven life choices from 1986-2020, any prior incarnation of Phish and their community would have been wasted on me.
I'm an old dog, but because of folks like you (and celebrating right now by listening to the MSG closer), I feel better about my choices.
Thank you, Megan. And thank all of you good people out there. You matter to me and give me hope.
Happy New Year. You deserve a peaceful and loving 2023.
