Dub Like an Antelope - LIVE on iTunes!!

Congrats to my brethren Henry K, representin' the 516 in ways not seen before.

From bullshitting about this concept in your living room 6 months ago through today, the journey has been everything I thought it would be and more. Thank you for letting me be apart of it. The record is dope. No reason this won't go Gold..none at all.

Folks, you can get "Dub Like an Antelope -Legends of Reggae Celebrate Phish, here

The Simple Truth about ObamaCare

For those not decided on which way to go on ObamaCare, all one has to do is watch, and listen to, Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas spew one inaccuracy after another, babbling if you will, until Matt Lauer is forced to shut her up. And duh, Senator, we know there will be an increase in the deficit, as ther would be with any major overhaul of healthcare put forth by either party. Did you really need to repeat the obvious 5 times in 3 minutes???

Folks, it's really quite simple, so let me break it down for you:

• Public Option = More Choices (Public or Private) = More Competition = Lower Prices for Consumers = GOOD for the People, BAD for the Insurance Industry

• No-Public Option = Less Choices = Less Competition = Higher Prices for Consumers = BAD for the People, GOOD for the Insurance Industry

Anyway, it's sad that the GOP's messages of wanting to lower health care costs for all Americans and making health care available to everyone is exactly the opposite of what they truly want: Profitabilty for the insurance industry and pharmaceutical companies at the expense of all Americans.

Just listen to the GOP's fearless leader, Sen. Kay Baily Hutchison. But do me a favor and really listen....

Happy Turkey Day, everyone...

Brent vs. Kyle: The Tally

Wow! Obviously, both musicians have very loyal and passionate fans, which is what we like to see. In saying that, the final tally is as follows:

Number of responses: 12

BRENT - 8

KYLE - 4

Thanks to everyone who participated -know that your vote does count here on Greene Daze which, living in Palm Beach County, Fl, is something we don't get much come Election Day each year.

A special shout out to Dave O, skillfully representing the West Coast who, as he mentions is, was, and will forever be a Cheesehead. Also to my homeboys Dano, D, Jack, Henry K, and Axle - their passion for the jam is unwavering, and know when they leave a comment, it best be recognized, as they collectively have 1000+ live shows under their belts.

The Heavy Pets tonight, PGroove in a couple of weeks, then Phish on New Years. Not bad, not too bad at all...

THE POLL

BRENT MYDLAND

vs.

KYLE HOLLIGNSWORTH

In the middle of the Radiators show last Friday night, my good friend (let's just call him Mr. Maloney for this piece), posed to me a question I would have never thought him to ask. He questioned which ivory tickler, on his best night, I thought was better: Kyle Hollingsworth of String Cheese Incident or the late Brent Mydland of the Grateful Dead?

I was taken aback at first, as those who know Mr. Maloney know his fondness for the Dead, his utter respect for their musicianship, and what they've meant to him throughout the years. I should also mention his admiration for The Cheese has been well documented. Either way, I figured Brent was a shoe-in, but no so fast ladies and gents. We then asked one of other good friends, and again, there was a little back-and-forth, but Kyle actually got the vote. "Ok then", I muttered, "let's put it to the masses." And so here we are.

Tell me who you think was better and why. The Poll will close this coming Monday, November 16th, at high noon. The pun was intended.

Here's to the Winners...

Say what you want about the Yankees having the biggest payroll in baseball - it's not like I haven't heard it every year since their last championship in 2000. But as we now know, money doesn't win championships. Heart, grit, determination, never-say-die, believing in what you're doing - these characteristics are what counts, they're what champions are made of.

So congrats to my boys in Pinstripes, 2009 World Series Champions. Thanks for bringing the Commissioners Trophy back home where it belongs.

Exiled in Indio

Wow - what an amazing weekend!! Phish truly pulled out all the stops -from the moment we pulled in to the lot to the last note played, the festival could not have been run any better.

What you're looking at here is a virtual tour of the Empire Polo Club, the host-venue for the weekend, along with some footage of the surrounding scenery. "Breathtaking" is the only word that comes to mind. Indio is a city where the San Jacinto Mountains segue solemnly into the Mojave Desert, where sunrises and sunsets are unimagineably spectacular, where Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage seem like cities in another State. It's a place unto itself, a place where people can meet, dance, and sometimes sing....

So picture these beautiful surroundings...throw in a weekend with Phish (and 35K of your closest friends)...then to top it off, the band covers The Rolling Stones' Exile on Main St. on Halloween..I'll tell you what - Indio will never, ever, be the same :-)

A quick shout out to my brethren Henry K, who's on the verge of greatness with the release of "Dub Like An Antelope", Reggae's Tribute to Phish, which is due out next month. Thank you, Henry, for giving me the opportunity to work with you on this record, and also out in Cali this past weekend . From the first brainstorm session 6 months ago in Boca up until now, it has been a wild ride. Much success, my brother! Also to Rianna and Shena.."nice meeting both of you..real nice..looking forward to seeing you in Miami for New Years"

"I will be reviewing the entire weekend as soon as time permits - until then, "make every song you sing, your favorite tune..."
