Both the Dead AND phish suck..completely!
-I think they're both swell

The Dead specialized in lite-country, Jimmy Buffet style, but then they put a nonsensical avante-garde freak-out session mid-set...with no context!
-Never heard them, huh?

So half the time you get lite-country, half the time you get space effects!!
-Obviously not

I have never, ever understood people's fascination with the Dead..

-Was the amazing concerts they played.

it's hippie..and don't forget it's the hippies (led by john Lennon) that killed off Tiki music in this country!
-You're not that guy who shot John are you? They let you post here from jail?

If I want country, it's chet atkins, bob wills, Merle haggard, hell..even Junior Brown!
-Don't really want country but thanks for suggestions

If you want Avante-garde its Eno and King Crimson!!
-Okey dokey

But the Dead? or Phish even? Bunch of damn trust- fund -rich -self-satisfied- hippies would like them...but not me!
-howabout a -a empty bankaccounthaving-poor-self-loathing-Tikiphile?

Give me something with some soul, some class, some pizzazz..something I can drink a Martini while listening to!
-scarlet>fire would fit that bill nicely

That's my rant for the day! Hippie and Tiki don't go together. Period!
-Do so, pffftttt!
