Much has been written over the past 30 hours aside from our commentary about the roadside arrest of former 70 Volt Parade lead singer Trey Anastasio:

• WCAX TV went right to the people and got the “Phish mom” perspective
• The AP story had Trey’s written statement, which read: “I feel terrible about what happened last night, and I am deeply sorry for any embarrassment I have caused my friends, family and fans”
• Phish still couldn’t get any respect from MTV — Trey’s arrest only garnered a brief mention
• Oddly enough, the best news story came from E! Online’s Josh Grossberg, who must be a Phish fan — he managed to work “flubbed” and Antelope lyrics into his piece
• The Rutland Herald’s Alan Keays disclosed that Trey was driving from NYC to Burlington
• Even the gossip blogs got in on the act: Gawker’s Idolator and Perez Hilton snarked away
• Check out this video from Albany TV station WNYT
• And front-page stories ran in the Burlington Free Press, The Post-Star, and the Times-Union in Albany
