11:31pm — Good and standard “Show of Life” and now “Julius”…
11:39pm — Brown note
Did they really play a secret show in Pod 2 after Centeroo was shut down? Was too tired to make it over there, but that was all the talk at the Phish show.
why does alaska sound almost like tennesse jed? why does phish’s song with a state in the title have to sound like the gd’s song with a state in the title?
They wouldn’t dare open a festi set with Reba, would they?
