BRITT LOWER KILLING THE SEVERANCE THEME SONG ON TRUMPET

People who love Phish do so with a devotion that is quasi-religious—deep, eternal, and rhapsodic. People who dislike Phish do so with equal fervor. Amanda Petrusich profiles the singular band. nyer.cm/za8BHxK

Today is the 160th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's assassination and also the 160th anniversary of the most buried lede in the history of journalism. AP's dispatch from 1865:

What if Seinfeld was Phish? #EverybodysLive

Of course, if you love the Grateful Dead — or even if you’re Grateful Dead curious — you should listen to 5/8/77, which is 48 years ago today. It’s a tremendous show. Yes - I think the prominence of this night overshadows other dates on the spring 77 tour. That doesn’t take away

BIG numbers for CNN's telecast of "Good Night, and Good Luck:" It "reached a combined 7.34 million total viewers on CNN US television, CNN International, and streaming audiences on Max and CNN.com." On TV, it ranked as the #1 show of the day across all of cable.

Other bands with 60 year old dudes who have played together for 40 years tend to play the hits. Phish doesn't have hits. They roll into cities like Manchester, NH for three nights, never repeat a single song and play mind-blowing improvisation without a net. Thank you, Phish.🙏

Let us all have a Wolf Spritzer today for the anniversary of this all time post.

One Love 🎾 Trey doing what Trey does best: being goofy AF as he leads the crowd through his own mini U.S. Open during Divided Sky. 7/23/25, Queens, NY #phish

Happy Birthday, Jerry! Your presence is felt every single day. 🌹⁠ ⁠ Our dad was a magical person whose light has only grown brighter with time. It’s been fulfilling to see Jerry’s life and music continue to inspire a new generation of fans; may they become freedom-loving

an advisor to Eric Adams gave a reporter a wad of cash stuffed inside an opened bag of Sour Cream & Onion potato chips this is a WILD story

The Beatles Anthology, a nine part documentary series featuring previously unreleased footage, premieres November 26 only on Disney+.

I think that the Eric Adams potato chip story is such a great example of the power of photojournalism. The image of the cash in the Herr's bag really makes the story. This pic is up there in the great photos of NYC like the sailor kissing nurse or lunch break on the steel beam

Today as the Dead faithful celebrated the life of Bob Weir, John Mayer delivered perhaps the only “Ripple” that’s ever made me smile-cry… Highly suggest.😔

My essay on why I love The Grateful Dead is in print today 🌹 nytimes.com/2026/01/17/opi…
