I’m really a Kelly Link story about…well it’s weird… and this line floored me: “A good move: perhaps someone here will save her. Once someone has saved your life, they might as well fall in love with you, too. It’s just good economics.”

Jesus, the margins in this game are so tight. Just a fraction of an inch between the Brewers leading them loaded and now it being 5-0.

If we can't get people to critically analyze edited videos at the height of the enthusiasm over YCSE, we're never going to make that leap, are we? Always challenge media, even when - especially when! - the story is something you'd want to believe.

10/26/91 was the first time Phish played in New Mexico. This would put Phish at 31 states (along with DC and Quebec) which feels a tad early to make it to the Land of Enchantment. The show was at Club West in Santa Fe which, while beloved by some locals,

doesn't have an interesting of a history as Chuy's Choo Choo from the other day. But a lot of amazing musicians have performed there and one person on Reddit claimed, "Many many millennials were conceived on the Club West dance floor."

It was an emotional day on 10/25/24 as the news of Phil Lesh's passing started to spread. I was in Albany getting a pre-show dinner when I got the call from Mel about it. Thankfully a Phish show was the perfect place to be that evening,

I had the idea of trying to start a "We want Phil!" chant the way that Deadheads used to do in the 80s when they wanted him to sing, but I didn't know how that would translate decades later.

The WSJ had an article titled “Don’t Assume Marine Le Pen Can Save France” but it turned out the issue is that she might not be able to do an ethnic cleaning. Things are getting really bad when this can be published in the mainstream press.

There’s a fine line between spooky and being outright mean!

I'm finally getting to the editing of Long Journey Home, and like I expected, it's mostly me cutting cutting cutting. I've just finished the Introduction and first two chapters and I'm already down 1000 words. I did though just have to drop everything and listen to the 9/3/88 Morning Dew.

Before 10/24/91, Trey announced, "Ladies and gentlemen on bass tonight: Mr. Lou Reed." There's a pause that is most definitely not filled with uproarious laughter from the audience followed with, "I guess nobody got that one." Well I don't get that one.

One day I'll get to interview Trey and I'll ask him the questions that the public really cares about! Speaking of things that the audience didn't get, this show also featured the first version of Tube in nearly a year.

They should have kept Let the Good Times Roll in rotation even after Brent's Death.

10/23/91 was Phish's first time playing Arizona, at a venue called Chuy's in Tempe. Chuy's was first born as Chuy's Choo Choo, a moniker befitting a venue that was moved twice before it closed in 1992, even if the Choo Choo vanished before the relocations.

the one track from it I could find - I Wanna Git Wit U from side 1 - shows that this doesn't quite work. If you pay attention to the album and song title, you probably won't be surprised to learn this, but Buddy Reed and the Rocket 88's leaned towards the blues side of things.

referenced both the jazz roots and features a choo choo rolling. Fishman especially has an eclectic taste in music so I wondered for a second if there were an album recorded in Chuy's Choo Choo days that would make this possible.
