...the b\'fast does not need the typical disco biscuits fan.
the same kinds of "gimme all the drugs i can get, doesn\'t matter what it is, i\'ll take it," people are what turned me off from the jam scene. i was glad to see that for the most part, well almost the majority of b\'fast fans when i first started coming around back in the good ol\' days, were nothing like that. that type of person is a cancer to ANY music scene. also the kind of person that made phish supposedly lose their desire to play for people. that fan does NOT have genuine passion for music. they have a passion for drugs. the music is just an after thought or something to move to, i mean, at the lot in plains, pa they were dancing to j. geils for christ\'s sake, fuckin\' sit these people in a big, open room with flashing lights and a big screen tv with any random movie on and they\'ll have the same reaction.
every one of their fans i have ever met since like \'98 or \'99 has mentioned how fucked up they were and how many different drugs they\'d taken when they went. according to older fans of the band, it wasn\'t always like that. surprise, surprise, yet another thing ruined by filthy, dirty, scuzzy, nasty-ass immature druggies. i went to see phish in 2000 at the meadows, we took a "bisco girl," like half way through the show while wandering around i ran into her, she immediately comes up to me, eyes darting around and huge, and goes, "heeeeeey, what\'s up, are you having a good time?!?! what are you on?!?" i was like, "uh, nothing," she was like, "seriously? that\'s uh, cool," and got a sarcastic thumbs up...
if you need to take drugs to enjoy a band, do you really like that band to begin with?
no fuckin\' thanks. imagine a bar full of those assholes? or a place like maybe, the field or jake\'s, or some kind of nice place they\'ve never played before, for example, does anyone think they\'d be invited back?!?!
i think not...
