Phishâs Jon Fishman May Be Retiring His Side Project, Touchpants. Posted by on Thursday March 31st, 2016. While all of the members of Phish remain active with side projects during the bandâs down time, none are as raucous as that of Jon Fishmanâs band, Touchpants.
That Johnson died an untimely death in 1938 at the hands of a jealous man (who, it is believed, poisoned Johnsonâs moonshine) only adds to the legend. Phish added âCrossroadsâ to its repertoire in 1993, sandwiching the song in the middle of an insane â Mikeâs Song â during the last show of the spring tour. Touring fans were prepared for it, as the band previewed âCrossroadsâ inside of â Harpua â the night before. The song then disappeared until 10/11/95.
