More than a few of you feel very passionately about both and, like Waxbanks, I number myself among you. And more than a few of you favor one over the other with a generous measure of � let�s say � passion

Um, where's "Never liked The Grateful Dead, would live a happy content life if they never heard another note of their music on classic rock radio and only care about Phish"? I guess that would torpedo any article one might want to write about Dead v. Phish, but am I the only Phish fan who acknowledges the debt Phish owes the Dead but doesn't give a damn about the Grateful Dead's music?

//but...Phish does not "owe" the "Grateful Dead" anything.....paths are chosen...and paths are walked...energy is constant so the "flow" will flow...without reason~~~
