Facts:

1. Not all Phish shows are great. But like Lake Wobegon, most are above average. (And I’m quite self aware of my attendance bias.)

2. Not all .net reviews are great. A wide variety of authors yields a wide variety of styles. This was more snarky pulp than a review. (All you complainers could’ve stop reading, me included.)

3. Gen X is a different generation than the Baby Boomers. Please stop. Boomers are my parents. That’s what generations are.

4. (Too) Many Phish fans seek the negative under the guise of a necessary critique (reviews excluded because they are supposed to be critiques). Many of my fellow sports fans do this with their teams (Bears fans excluded because their team does in fact suck) when they are actually above average. Yes, my glass is perpetually half full, at least.

5. Making fun of everyone at every turn is not nice. I get it’s part of the snark, but come on.

6. All of us love to hear the songs that made us fall in love with this band. See fact 5.

7. The Sunday shows of this “tour” were the two weakest. Rethinking my future strategy too DRJERRYPUNCHYITE (props on screen name).

8. We are all lucky to be seeing our favorite band playing at the top of their game (maybe not every night but way more often than not).

9. The boys (sorry, I couldn’t help it) seem to be very happy and genuinely enjoying this as much as we are (most of us at least).

10. See you fucks at YEMSG.
