I was searching for some info about Fishman and his farm and general store when I came across this:
https://bakingbradblog.wordpress.com/2016/07/02/me-and-the-pedophile-piper-of-phish/
It is super long. Here’s a part:
INTRODUCTION
Defendant is a pro se visually-impaired dyslexic who was arrested for having a series of three dreams about the Plaintiff. He had struggled with whether or not to share his very unusual visions with the Plaintiff for 7 years. The first dream had come to fruition with the reunification of the band Phish. Finally, when he realized that the 2nd of his dreams was coming true, as it alarmingly involved Mrs. Fishman, an SUV, ISIS and five children, and these elements had now materialized as reality and not a dream, the Defendant very reluctantly wrote the Plaintiff a letter, exhibit A, with one purpose only; to circumvent Mrs. Fishman from driving on I-95 in an SUV with 5 children in it. This was the Defendant’s crime. He was trying to avert tragedy. His letter also contained a $40 cash gift to their charitable Mimi Fishman Foundation fund. He had apologized profusely for the unusual letter in the letter itself. The Plaintiff s wife, however, wasn’t buying it.
EDIT: I had never seen anything about this.

Holy Batpants, shitbomb. Wow. I just read a bunch of that. I can’t imagine dealing with that, go Fishman! Anyone ever hear of anyone giving a rat’s ass that Fish got naked on stage?
It is super long. Here’s a part:
Good Lord…the worst is: “When we talked about his ‘getting naked on stage.’” Huh? Who the hell meets the drummer of Phish and then suddenly brings up “getting naked on stage?” Fishman has done it like five times over the entire course of Phish and they’re acting like it’s an epidemic. Right there you know it’s phony.
“He indicated that it was his proclivity to expose himself onstage was the reason for the break-up” - Oh, so it was all Fishman. That bastard.
I can’t imagine dealing with that, go Fishman!
Just makes you realize how many nutjobs are out there and how they tend to focus their obsessions on celebrities for some reason. Seems this guy has mental issues but not enough to put him away in a funny farm so celebs just get to deal with these losers. What a pain.
^ This is some intense news, but it also gave me a little look into Fish’s home life (which, yeah, I’m interested in!)
So he and his wife, Briar now own a farm and they’re opening a “true” general store in their small community, fostering creation, collaboration, and togetherness. I mean, what could be better than that?
^ I also think Fishman’s rural life with the farm and soon to open general store is cool. An interesting path after the breakup in 2004.
And here’s another person causing problems for the boys. Stealing from Phish. For shame.

^Wow, crazy. Gotta be careful about that stuff. These kind of guys hook athletes all the time.
More from the life of Fishman when he’s not playing drums in the best band ever:
http://www.horseandhound.co.uk/news/rare-breed-mares-new-home-us-pop-star-607259
The labels in the article are the best. Fishman is a “US pop star” and Phish is a “rock and jazz band.” Neither are exactly incorrect but they look funny. Nice share though.
I didn’t know the sign had been altered so many times:

There may not be as many lumps as was thought:

I’m guessing it was the Dick’s field pooper.
Damnit. Guess we have to call a do-over and find another theme for the residency.
From Texas Parks and Wildlife game warden field notes:
A Rockwall County game warden responded to a call from a local law enforcement officer about a traffic stop involving three subjects that had been driving the neighborhoods shooting rabbits from a public roadway. When the warden arrived on scene, he found three young men standing around a truck with a bed full of dead rabbits. One young man was only wearing a trucker hat, boots, and some brightly colored underwear. The subjects said they had shot a skunk earlier in the evening and when the individual approached it, the skunk sprayed him. The others wouldn’t let him back in the truck with his clothes on. Citations pending.

Come on, people. You can do better.
Re: Boyd Tinsley-DMB
The dude always seemed strange, but whoa…
First he takes a “leave” from band to focus on family and health. Then this comes out the other day
-Accused of sexual misconduct allegations
https://consequenceofsound.net/2018/05/boyd-tinsley-misconduct-allegations/
And Now he has been officially given the Axe right before tour kicks off
https://consequenceofsound.net/2018/05/boyd-tinsely-dave-matthews-band-split/
It will be interesting how this goes being as he helped give DMB that distinctive sound, yet probably the most replaceable member.IMO. What he did in Tripping Billies was his mark and I felt like he just kind of repeated himself in a way after that. Too be fair DMB’s music has shifted a bit since BTCS with less emphasis on the Violin. Along with Tim joining full time it kind of pushed him to the background.
Also to see how this effects DMB in the future. I know Dave has made changes throughout the yrs in the band and kept chugging along but I feel like they have just been floating by for yrs and have lost their step.
And now this.
They also have a new album dropping soon.
Also if anyone knew or remembered their was a big law suit thing with one his managers a few yrs back who basically accused Boyd of threatening him, giving him gifts, etc in efforts to keep his sexual encounters with other men that he lured with money, gifts, throughout the yrs quiet.
His manager was found guilty of “over charging” Boyd, but charges were reduced based on the facts of the threats he was under.
**so this has all gone by rather fast since the accusations came out. “Fired” almost immediate, name already gone from the official site, tour starts and they have brought on a keyboard player. No word on if Boyd will be replaced.
I think DMB would be fine without a violin on material from Busted stuff and up, but they would have to drop everything from their greatest yrs, otherwise they become the Best Dave Matthews Cover Band
As being a big fan esp from 1993-2002 0r so. I find this so Interesting, shocking and sad
