When I was seven or eight I was really into Cream, really into Led Zeppelin.
When I go on stage man I just want people to have fun, I don't want people to think about their problems, I want people to get energy and nutrition and food from that so they can go back into the real world and work on their problems.
Phish has never had anything to do with any trends at all in America.
But I do think that we approach music, in of itself, with a religious attitude.
Led Zeppelin was pretty much what made me pick up drum sticks.
I just wanted to say one more thing: I also think that when you go to play music, you're there to play music.
