[edit] Drugs
This is really a POV hack job of an article. Noone can deny how prevelant drug use was, not only with Phish fans, but with the band itself, yet the word drugs does not appear in this entire article. No mention of drugs in a roughly 11 page article about Phish makes this a joke. I mean come on guys I know you love Phish and all but please don't just take out the facts just because you think it makes your favorite band look bad. Some of the band members have openly admitted to using massive amounts of drugs, not like anyone was fooled into thinking they weren't and drug use amongst people at shows was undeniably part of the lot culture.

- Each band member has his own page. If there are cited facts about such drug use you may add them there. Trey Anastasio's page, for example, mentions his December 2006 drug arrest. Great pains have been taken over the past year to edit out fanboy language from this article, so your random claim of a "hack job" is inaccurate and unproductive. BabuBhatt 03:24, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
The fact remains that he's right about drugs being a big part of the Phish concert culture for the fans too, and this is not mentioned in the article at all, which does make the article POV. Here's a couple sources, as if you really needed them, that I found in just a few seconds of searching: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] WildlifeAnalysis 09:47, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
- I don't think it's not mentioned in the article at all -- it is. It's just (admittedly) glossed over. When you've been confining yourself to Phish-related publications, it's hard to find the sources you came up with. They're all pretty good, but I'd like to see a real source for that Gadiel interview.
- But the question that I have to ask is, "Were drugs really that much more prevalent at Phish shows than any other act on their level and with their draw?" The Pink Floyd article only mentions drugs in reference to the decline of Barrett. The Grateful Dead article only mentions it in reference to the band members. I don't think that by omitting the drugs we're any more POV than either of those articles, and Pink Floyd is an FA. — MusicMaker5376 13:35, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template discussion
There is a discussion as to how to treat Giant Country Horns in the template. Any interested editors should feel free to comment there. — MusicMaker5376 19:53, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] South Park appearance?
The band is parodied in an episode of South Park entitled "Die Hippie, Die", in which they are portrayed as the band "Fish" and the entire band bears a striking resemblance to the band Phish, and the lead singer looks very much like Trey Anastasio, including his trademark glasses and being the lead singer of a large jam band. Don't know if this is worth noting as a reference in pop culture. Zchris87v 08:26, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
- This article does not currently have a "Pop culture references" section, and, as it is a GA, I would be against adding one. However, around the same time (I think), they were in an episode of The Simpsons. I would not be against adding these two factoids to the appropriate section of the history. Properly cited, of course. — MusicMaker5376 14:29, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

- Then I'll wait until it falls into "failure article" status then, hehe. Zchris87v 04:53, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] AfD of TMWSIY
If anyone is still watching this article, I want to point out that the article for TMWSIY is up for deletion. The discussion is here. — MusicMaker5376 22:48, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
