waxbanks > I’ve noticed repeated assumptions even from professional reviewers that phans don’t like certain songs. It’s never the case that all others feel like you do about a song.

I don't see anything in the review that suggests that the reviewer -- probably not a professional, and certainly not getting paid for this volunteer work, like everyone else at phish.net -- assumes that anyone outside his section was groaning when that tune kicked off. Similarly, I bet you don't assume that everyone likes it. It's not a big deal either way; we play for low stakes here.

The opening notes of 'Bug' have always been an incredible buzzkill for me, and the closing notes of 'Bug' always leave me with a warm glow and a hint of '2.0'-flavoured ambivalence. Everyone's mileage varies.

The real question is why anyone likes 'Jibboo' or Classic TAB, but we'll table that.
