Mike Gordon may have been known as "Cactus" for Phish's entire musical career, but that doesn't mean he enjoys it. In a response to a tweet, Cact--Gordon explained the timeline of the nickname before adding he doesn't "like it at all. Friends don't call me it."
For what it's worth, "Cactus" is a hell of a lot better than "Toidi Bowl."
Ironically I do mind "Cactus" - weird because I aided in making it up. It was made to sound demeaning... https://t.co/N8RcdqIjgP
