Phish 7-13-03 The Gorge, WA

PHiSH SMaSH (Or: George 7below Destroys the Patriot Act)
You know what really bugs me–how in the mainstream, hippie culture is portrayed as negligible because its saccharine messages of peace and love are naive. Anybody who’s ever furthered the cliche of the Phish fan as good-natured doofus with tie-dye socks and toothless perma-grin deserves to have their brains fisted by the absolutely atrocious twenty minutes of soul-searching noise that is the Gorge “Seven Below.” Holy shit: this fully reinvigorated Phish is droning, wailing, shredding, and Trey is bending notes to hell and back with wicked glee like the devil made him do it. This is Phish for the dark, dark days of the Bush administration.
Don’t make my band angry. You wouldn’t like my band when it’s angry.
