Is Vida Blue that annoying sex blogger who Xeni hated/dated? THIS IS 99, BITCHES.

Vide Blue is another baseball legend, BUT ALSO (BUT ALSO!) the name of a side project started by Page McConnell, the keyboardist from Phish, during their hiatus earlier this decade.

Full circle, you guys:

Vida Blue was an electronic trio fronted by Page McConnell of Phish and included Oteil Burbridge of The Allman Brothers Band and Russell Batiste of The Meters. Vida Blue got its name from the 1970s Major League Baseball pitcher Vida Blue. Blue once joined the band on stage.

And he wasn’t even that good then. Jerk.
