Phish Head
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Phish Heads, also known as Phish Phans were ardent followers of the jam band Phish before its disbanding in 2004. The name is derived from the coined term "Dead Heads", the name given to ardent followers of the Grateful Dead. Many Phish Heads were concurrently Dead Heads, and after the death of Grateful Dead frontman and guitarist Jerry Garcia and the subsequent dissolution of the Grateful Dead, many Dead Heads became Phish Heads to continue their nomadic, band-following lifestyles and community. Many Phish Heads were in existence long before the death of Garcia, and not all Phish Heads were ever Dead Heads, or vice versa.
Famous fans include Ben Cohen, Bill Walton, Jeremy Shockey and Phil Jackson.
