Or is he the guy who is glad he got caught so he thinks everybody else should get caught? Not that I know, I'm just speculating.
Do you realize that what you are saying doesn't even make sense? He doesn't seem to care that Fishman seems to be tripping all the time. All of his fans are constantly tripping or doing drugs. His music clearly encourages drug use.
Trey is a humble, nice, and hard-working musician. He is constantly touring and giving up much of his time to spread joy and good music.
His music may go well with drug use, but his on-stage drug rants don't..
You still aren't making any sense. I support drug courts rather than prison or other things like large fines. It actually makes drug abuse a health issue rather than a criminal issue. It is clear that you are trying to find something to complain about because you don't like Trey.

He probably thinks like most other ex-addicts think: Getting sober is the best thing that happened to him and it should happen to everyone.
I still am not following how this makes the band "anti-drug" and tons of drug stings happen at Phish shows and not other shows because of that. It's a pretty large leap in my mind.

I never even explicitly said that. I said it seems like Fishman trips all the time. The last time I know for a fact that he tripped was in 2003 because he admitted to tripping after some particular show. Besides, why does it matter so much?

I too am for drug courts over prison, wholeheartedly. But I was browsing phish forums and people were talking about Trey having drug rants in the middle of a set. I love Phish and have nothing against Trey..
E: It's not that any of us are against him, you definitely seem protective of him though. The guy went straight and expects everybody else to do so. Come on..

2003 is prior to his glowing experience with drug court in 2006.
It matters because a) I seriously hear more about people getting busted with drugs at Phish shows than any other band ever, and I don't even follow Phish-related news and b) his very pro-drug-law stance, if taken at face value, would appear to predispose him to aiding and abetting crimes against heads "for their own good".

He is an upper-middle class weekend musician. He enjoys playing with his friends and is glad that he can make a buck off the system. He is not a soul musician like Jerry Garcia.

I was talking about Fishman tripping, not Trey... Did you watch the video where Trey was singing about hitting the Sour Diesel? There are so many Phish songs that reference drugs in a positive way. Getting busted at Phish shows is irrelevant because that is the venue's fault or the local police. Example: a lot of people get busted at Jones Beach. But that is because much of the venue area is public so the police patrol it hard. There are many venues that result in minimal to no arrests.
To me it doesn't seem like Trey is pro drug laws. It seems he is pro drug court for the way that the current laws are. And I stand there with him.

Haha, what?
How is he making a buck off any system?
How is he a weekend musician?
How is Jerry Garcia a soul musician?

Oh okay, that's fine. I don't see what that has to do with drug busts and shit.
Edit: He's better than Jerry's four-fingered self was though.

You guys just want to not like Trey. And I don't care, that is fine. But you should at least admit that you want to not like him rather than trying to find ways to justify it.

Jerry created a fucking genre with his 4 fingers. You wouldn't know of Trey and his costume wearing buddies if it wasn't for Jerry. Trey just extended the genres duration while keeping his fingers busy on stage. Trey wouldn't know what a jam was if Jerry didn't think of improvisational guitar playing when there was only improvisation in jazz (John Coltrane, Miles Davis, et al). It's no coincidence that Phish got famous in the mid-90s when the Dead was going down. They were around 10 years prior and their name was barely heard. I wonder why..

very true
but what I dont get is why arent we praising the cavemen and the beats they made by rhythmically beating shit to create music in the beginning.
Jerry didnt start shit, the caveman with a stick started the jam scene

I don't think that's historically accurate. For example, Jefferson Airplane was well known for improvisation during shows. Here's a video of them jamming in 68...
1967
I might add that Trey destroys Jerry at guitar. No contest.
