See, this is why we can't have nice things . . .

But Phish follower Woody Boese wonders whether the decision to shut off two water features flanking the municipal center while Phish performs three shows next door at Dick's Sporting Goods Park is aimed at fans of Phish.

Commerce City Mayor Paul Natale said Wednesday the move is just a precaution. The city isn't worried that Phishheads will use the fountains to bathe in or cool off during their stay over Labor Day weekend, he said.

"It's not because we think Phish followers are not the best of people," Natale said. "But we just want to avoid a challenge that may or may not come up. We are more concerned about what may be placed in the fountains."

Yeah . . . like themselves.  Or some random DNA sample delivered via bodily emission.

Coincidentally, today is the 42nd anniversary of the closing day at Woodstock.
