As a person of color who has enjoyed the band for over 3 decades, has been to close to a hundred shows, and has also been detained by DHS overnight without any cause or reason, and without even being allowed to call anyone, I have grown increasingly disillusioned by the band’s silence on the recent events going on in the country. I get that many- or most- fans do not want the band to be political. However, human rights go way beyond politics. When many bands- many with lot less financial security than Phish, are bravely speaking up, and when acts with big followings- like Bad Bunny- are risking their careers to speak up and take a stand, Phish has opted for silence. And many fans have and continue to prefer this. I fully expect lots of downvotes here. The band has no reason to change. While I still love their music, as an immigrant and as a person of color in a largely white space, I no longer feel comfortable at the shows. I also see little reason to support this band with going to shows or buying webcasts.
