	Interview with Jon Fishman 11/7/96
		Michael: A lot of people say that- Jon: I love the singer and I think they have a good sound in general, like their overall sound's kinda ethereal, it's got some grit to it, it's not all slick and perfected and produced.
		Jon: To some degree they did pretty well, they were playing like 10,000 seaters - it wasn't like they were selling out Wembley Stadium or anything but they were doing well.
		Jon: I think that Phish has been a band, we've all had- I've had a great life growing up and everybody in my band's had a really good life, none of us have got anything to complain about at all.

		Fishman's corner is a house on Lake Champlain, where he recently moved with his partner and their two children, Ella, 2 1/2, and Jack.
		Fishman said the more he thinks about the band's dilemmas -- from competing obligations to "the nature of bigness" -- the more he realizes that breaking up represents the natural course of events.
		Ultimately, Fishman concludes, ending is Phish's last attempt at being a band -- a final alternative for a band that has tried to be inventive, to evolve and grow, for 21 years.

	Frank Zappa, Zappa Picks by Jon Fishman of Phish (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Fishman is the bearded but otherwise cherubic drummer for the wildly popular jam-band Phish, many of whose fans started out as Dead fans.
		For this one, Fishman has given us some of his favorites, and a short essay on how Zappa and his music influenced his own life and music.
		These picks are grouped by the albums they first appeared on, and the liner notes credit the musicians who appeared on the original albums, which may be somewhat misleading, because they may or may not be on the individual tracks here.

	Amazon.com: Zappa Picks - By Jon Fishman of Phish: Music: Frank Zappa (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		That's the driving sensibility of this compilation of favorite Frank Zappa performances from Phish drummer Jon Fishman; the irony, of course, is that the result is a mixed sense of musical nostalgia and inspiration that veteran iconoclast Zappa himself would scarcely have subscribed to.
		All Jon Fishman did was pay tribute to Frank by putting together some of HIS favorite Zappa moments, perhaps in an effort to turn some Phish fans onto Zappa in the process, who might never have given him a listen otherwise.
		because Jon Fishman says I should listen to it." This is nothing more than Fishman saying "thanks." Finally, if you're going to have your fanbase spread, it might as well be to the Phish community.

		frank's love for varese served the same purpose then as fishman's and lalonde's do now for the vast and varied catalogue of one of america's greatest and most under-appreciated composers.
		If they'd like the world to know what Zappa songs they like, they should have their picks printed in a magazine or on their website, instead of suckering us all into buying music that most Zappa fans already own.
		But I've also learned a bit about Fishman: Not only the song selections, but even the order of the tracks, are less phat and more faht.
