Fans: From Phishhead to Israeli Army [Aish]

David Sussman used to be a Phishhead. The self-defined former “stinky dreadlocked hippie” was born and bred in Boston and followed the band across the U.S., taking in more than 150 shows by the time he was 23. Three years later, Sussman found himself amidst the ruins of the terror attack at Mike’s Place in Tel Aviv, where he worked as a bartender and manager. Two years after that, in 2006, he was faced with death again, serving as an infantry soldier with the IDF, on the front lines of the Lebanon war.
