They love Madison Square Garden. Every year for New Year's Eve they play 4 shows there, plus they did a 13 show residency there in 2017 and a 7 show residency in 2023.

Yeah, everyone is saying Red Rocks but they haven't even played there since 2009. They've played at Dicks 45 times since 2009 because they do 3-4 shows every Labor Day weekend.

I'm not sure why everyone is saying Red Rocks. Phish played three shows there in 2009 but they haven't played there since.

The real answer is that every Labor Day weekend they play 3 to 4 shows at Dick's Sporting Goods Park outside Denver (except in 2020 when the shows were cancelled).

RIP to a legend

For the last couple decades, Phil was an outspoken advocate for organ donations thanks to a donor named Cody who saved his life. Every concert he would ask people to consider becoming an organ donor. If you're not already, think about it. As Phil said, you could "save the life of someone you'll never meet".

But we would eat Kraft Dinner
Of course we would, we'd just eat more
And buy really expensive ketchups with it
That's right, all the fanciest-, Dijon ketchup, mm, mm

That was when he took LSD for the first time intentionally. There was one time before that when he absorbed it accidentally.

What sort of eggs are that shape? And why have they never been introduced to the Lilliputians?

People say this a lot and I believe it's based on this quote:

I pop the video in, and wow… Tears welling, silence, goose-bumps… Wow. [I felt like] I just lost my girlfriend, because that song isn’t mine anymore… It really made me think about how powerful music is as a medium and art form. I wrote some words and music in my bedroom as a way of staying sane, about a bleak and desperate place I was in, totally isolated and alone. [Somehow] that winds up reinterpreted by a music legend from a radically different era/genre and still retains sincerity and meaning — different, but every bit as pure.

Many people seem to interpret "that song isn't mine anymore" to mean "that song is now Cash's". But here's another quote:

Then I got a CD in the post. I listened to it and it was very strange. It was this other person inhabiting my most personal song. I’d known where I was when I wrote it. I know what I was thinking about. I know how I felt. Hearing it was like someone kissing your girlfriend. It felt invasive.

To me, that doesn't sound like he's saying it's Cash's song now or that Cash's version is better. It's more that Cash proved to him that even though this was a deeply personal song about his own life and struggles that he's not the only one capable of doing it justice. He realized that other talented artists can take that song about him and transform it into a song about them. The song's not his anymore because it could be anyone's song.

The player believes that this transformation feature is in Bloodborne but wasn’t ever added to the playable game.

Uhh... What? It was added in the DLC with the Beast's Embrace rune. Equip that rune and the Beast Claw and voila! You're now a beast.

I really liked Dawncaster but then I didn't play it for awhile and when I came back it had changed significantly and all the builds that I used to win with consistently no longer worked out. Honestly it's probably more balanced now than before but I haven't spent enough time with it to get good again.

I'd add Slice and Dice to that list
