NOOOO!!!! Please, please, please let us not infect Phish with politics. If the rest of the country wants to insert politics into everything they eat, breathe, sleep, poop, etc. let them...but let us not go down that path here, I beg of you. Its summer. Phish is on tour. They just delivered an epic show. Leave it at that.
Good point! Why would we want politics as part of following a band that wrote an entire song cycle about the dangers of authoritarian dictators when we have a would be authoritarian dictator in power right now?

But seriously, I kid. If you want to come and just enjoy the music, that’s fine, but it’s possible to make a larger point about the world by examining the music or the scene, and I personally think that’s fair.
