Whereas Phish probably doesn't care what four online bloggers have to say about them. I'm sure they do a little, but they're a major rock band. They're gonna be successful, and the blogs saying that Phish is playing well, but not quite to their peak, but really well isn't something a major rock band would work on giving a "f--- you" to.

I hope Phish doesn't give a rip what I write about their shows. I hope they don't waste a nanosecond of thought on it. I hope they devote their Phish thoughts to playing good shows by practicing, listening, and hooking up.

So, I don't write for them. I write for myself, because I like to process thoughts on the page, and I write for you, because I like to share my experience of music with other people, and I write for the site, because I want it to succeed.
