Your Top 5 Bands and/or Musicians of all Time

[Wentzl]

In 1992, when I lived in Alaska, and I had never heard, or heard of, Phish, I was driving home from work when I was wakened from my afternoon commuter stupor by the excellent jam in Tweezer which caused me to focus more on the road, where to my surprise, I observed a hot air balloon was just crash landing through some electrical power lines which happened to cross the road on which I was traveling home.

After which I contacted several of my GD friends to alert them that there was a new game in town.

Top 5? Meh. But a fun story just the same.

Phish is my GOAT. Meatstick is my go-to song after bagging a peak.

So being killed by falling aircraft or satellite is really a thing in Alaska? I remember that Maggie's boyfriend died that way in Northern Exposure.
Does it happen more frequently than grizzly attacks?
