my roommate: you f-cking spreadhead, clean up your taco bell trash and turn down the music.

a devoted fan of the southern, blues, rock and rhythm band widespread panic. this flip-flop wearing person typically grasps the exemplary sound and contagious vibe of good energy promoted, sought after and achieved by the players in the band. although many fans come off as dopers who have only p-ssion in life – the panic – they are a diverse group of music lovers out to have a blow-out good time and leave with memories of living it up right.

regardless of their attire, language and private lives, when a spreadhead goes to a panic show, he or she becomes one of many and reveres the warmth of anonymity and unquestioned unity. often a spreadhead will perform worship rituals and close his or her eyes while swaying to and fro.

guys: khaki shorts, flip flops, visor, sungl-sses, giant hemp necklace- only for use at shows (wouldn’t want to wear that back at the frat), earliest wsp shirt they can find- the more obscure the better- particularly if it contains an inside reference to a revered song, and a pocket or two full of drugs-preferably e; particular reverence to jb & whatever show they attended that was located furthest from their present location

girls- anything lightweight and hemp, patchwork flowy skirts, hemp jewelry, incredibly pale, no makeup, very thin (though some are chubby, they’re just potheads, only occasional e users), purse full of drugs, preferably e

if these poor misguided youth would stop their continual drug use, they would understand that the music sucks @ss, and they only attend shows for the abundance of drugs.

their only redeemable quality is the free distribution of drugs to strangers when high on e at shows…and the humor you enjoy while watching this many drugged-out yuppie kids try to dance.
