PholkTales: What is Phish?
I decided to talk about what Phish IS to me rather than WAS, because even though I am getting slightly discouraged by this "extended hiatus," there are two things about that -- one, I understand that they needed to do it and totally respect that, and two, it doesn't mean that Phish doesn't exist anymore -- as long as we're all still sharin' in the groove, there is still a Phish even if they're not together these days.

That being said...what is Phish?

Phish is the brief moment of silence when a paralyzing thrill surges through the phans' bodies and holds them for a split second before they can collectively erupt in electrifying applause and cheers when the lights of the venue are cut and the lights on the stage come on.

Phish is an oasis...Phish is a refuge from an increasingly mundane, superficial, materialistic, selfish, ignorant, barren, and hate-filled world, where for during the length of time of one show and everything that surrounds it, you can be guaranteed peace, love, good times, good people...and MUSIC...music that take you into the depths of spirituality and takes you on a tour of the universe without ever leaving the concert venue... music that shows you the corners of your mind, space, nature, and time... different corners every night, infinite corners awaiting.

Phish is four guys from Vermont pouring kindness onto thousands and thousands of people from all over the world.

Phish is your first show.

Phish is Phish.

- Vineet Aggarwal
