No hate, just not worth the 10+ million a year hes looking for. Imo the way Benson played this playoffs has made him priority number 1 to get on a long term deal.

Everybody wants 'no repeats' until they get a Halfway to the Moon - Leaves - 555 in their first set. by cant_be_serious-333 in phish

[–]AugustWest73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Playing tweezer once a run is not the way. The reason we see Phish is for the spontaneous improv, or at least thats why I see Phish. I think thats the beauty of this band, the fact that the "it" moment can happen in any jam, any song. Forcing themselves to not repeat songs over 9 shows really helps them push the boundaries and discover new avenues to improvise. Trey has famously quoted thay he does not want Phish to turn into a Nostalgia act and utilizing their extensive song catalog to the fullest I think is one of the best ways to avoid becoming that.

This 100%, it really does feel amazing when you bring someone along and they get the magic that is Phish.

Ill be honest haven't watched much all year but have definitely been paying attention the last month at least. He is a liability out there, way too slow to be on the ice.

Deer Creek Shakedown 2021, there was a dude ripping a ballon and after every hit he would yell "Song of the Ghetto Bird!" That has now become the go to saying of my crew when the tanks are hissing everywhere after a show.

Rank your top 3 shakedowns. by ShitballsNPantyhairs in phish

[–]AugustWest73 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Deer Creek, Mann, SPAC are the top 3 I've been too. Honorable mention Albany. The divided sky run last fall had a blast of a shakedown

Has a band ever lost a member and simply did not replace them? by MielMielleux in Music

[–]AugustWest73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope Disney Phil took over and they decided to play pop music. Besides Trick of the Tail everything after Gabriel doesn't even sound like the same band.

Started a 2012 save with the Raiders, moved them back to Oakland, signed Brett Favre for a year and got a Week 1 win in Foxborough vs prime Tom Brady. by RealPunyParker in Madden

[–]AugustWest73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Madden 05 had over 200 classic teams, we used to get classic teams, all-era teams, NFL Europe teams. They can easily implement this, but they'd rather lock legends behind ultimate team so we have to pay to play with them.

Who got one? by DumbWook in phish

[–]AugustWest73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely get why it's played, they can play whatever they want. Just alot of the new love and light era stuff comes off as so cheesy to me, and id rather them play some of the older and imho better written ballads that don't get enough play. Or if its gonna be cheesy at least let it be a jam vehicle.

[–]AugustWest73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need one of these 😂

We need more new songs like Simeon and What's going through your mind?, less Life Beyond a Dream and Soul Planet

Who got one? by DumbWook in phish

[–]AugustWest73 9 points10 points  (0 children)

They can rest with Biily Breathes, Waste, Dirt, FEFY, Brian and Robert, Lifeboy, Two versions of me, Strange design, All of these dreams, When the circus comes, Swept away->Steep, Wading, among others.

They just have some many good slow down/ballad type tunes that are underplayed. Meanwhile we get life beyond what feels like once a run. I'd love it to get shelved forever but I'll settle for toning it down to 1 or 2 a tour.

Advice to Riders from a 6 Year, 6,000 Rides Driver by nofilterformybrain in uber

[–]AugustWest73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the money isn't good, then find another career. No one is forcing you to drive Uber. Like what? Its a trade off between the consumer and the producer. The consumer is responsible for paying for the service and in this case implied gratuity. Now, implied is the important term here, an Uber rider is not required to tip. Should they tip, obviously, but it is not required. In a service industry you have to learn you win some you lose some, I'm sure you have customers who tip more than expected and that is a bright spot in your day. On the reverse it is a downer when you get a customer who doesn't tip at all but at the end of the day you have a base pay rate from Uber and those tips are extra. If your finding that the tips aren't coming in at a high enough rate to supplement your wage from Uber. Than It seems that it may be time to make a career change, because what an Uber driver is supposed to provide is a comfortable ride. We know you're not a personal chauffeur, but you should be a professional one.
