Trey Anastasio is no longer absolutely ruling out playing Phish songs again but, seriously kids, lets not get too worked up.

Yep. Here’s the tantalizing bit from an interview with Rolling Stone:

“When Phish broke up, I made some comment about how I’m not gonna go around playing ‘You Enjoy Myself’ for the rest of my life,” Anastasio said with a laugh. “And it’s so funny because Fish and Mike and Page have been talking to each other a lot lately and now — it’s not that I can’t believe that I said that, but its symbolic of how much I lost my mind or how much I lost my bearings or something. Because at this point in time I would give my left nut to play that song five times in a row every day until I die. I certainly thought about that while I was in jail.”

Now, before you start pooling your gas money and digging up those old ‘secret’ Ticketmaster numbers, remember that Trey is busy promoting his new live album and only just finishing a drug treatment program. As much as I’d love to see a properly functioning Phish again, I can’t see it as being either

A) a safe, wholesome environment for a recovering drug addict guitar player

or

B) a possibility in the near future

If I’m wrong, I’ll print and eat my words with a nice balsamic vinaigrette.

Btw, There’s a sample clip from Trey’s new Live Album at Here Comes The Flood.
