thank you for an unbelievably fast and amazing list.  i'd like to ask
the exact same question again, but this time, instead of finding out
PHISH celebrity fans, i'd like to find out DAVE MATTHEWS BAND
celebrity fans.  so, exact same question, just different band.  i want
to make sure i get you on the case,how do i ensure that?  thanks again
for your help!!

also, regarding PHISH celebrity fans, the one question i forgot to ask
you was in addition to celebrity fans, are there any top Fortune 500
company CEO's who are PHISH fans??  same for DAVE MATTHEWS, if you are
able to find out.

THANK YOU!!!!THANKYOU!!!!

Hi Oceansea,

You can request me by putting "attn: juggler-ga" in the subject line
of your next question.

As for corporate Phish fans, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield of the ice
cream company Ben & Jerry's seem to be the only high-profile corporate
executives identified as Phish fans.

Michael Cirrito, Director of Marketing for jambasetickets.com,
identifies himself as a Phish fan here:

Thanks!

juggler ROCKS!!!  amazingly fast, thorough and helpful.  enormous
praise and thanks for truly excellent work!!
