I toured on and off with Phish for 5+ years.
The best tour urban legend i heard was the one that goes...
"My boy sketchy was in a bus with his mama summertime, and they had a huge mayonnaise jar full of liquid... they were like traveling through the south, right? So this big redneck cop pulls them over and starts hasseling them... he looks in the back and sees the big jar... so he's all "Oh I sees you hippays are samplin' some of the local moonshine?!" So then like boss hogg grabs the jar and takes a BIIIIG ol' drink off of it!!... a couple minutes later he takes his gunbelt and keys off, hands them to them and starts trippin' balls, and walks off into a field... then my boy drove the bus off and threw his keys out the window!"
this happenned to Ken Kesey and friends, i believe. not some "kid" named sketchball. seriously though, my good friend (in jail for 9 years-- 22 vials-- luv you rybo!) had access to crystal all the time,sent from cali and i actually was lucky enough to do some "raw". he eventually got set up by a junky "friend" who was covering his own ass. my friend went to phish shows all the time, toured with them sometimes. but he was more into dnb. he was your every day raver/hippie/rainbow kid, who happenned to meet up with the right(or wrong, depending..) people.
lotsa people round here are pretty close minded. not everybody who likes jambands like phish is a "groovy hippy" the whole scene has gotten more urbanized- and the people that go to these things are people who are OPEN to ALL types of music, and not people who think theres nothing out there besides electronic music. sheesh.
youse guys r cwaaazy!!
