The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Phish fans in 1996 to generate charitable proceeds from the Phish community.
And since we're entirely volunteer – with no office, salaries, or paid staff – administrative costs are less than 2% of revenues! So far, we've distributed over $2 million to support music education for children – hundreds of grants in all 50 states, with more on the way.
Let's relax and have some perspective here.
I don't agree with some of the reviewer's thoughts, but I certainly appreciate her taking the time and effort to recap a long, 3-set show (not at easy task, by the way).
Sure, there are some tragic events in our country (and world) today, but no more or less than at any other time. I pray you live your life one day at a time, letting love conquer any bitterness, resentment, or hatred you may or not be experiencing.
It's quite a skill to disagree without being disagreeable, but let's aim for that mark.
On a lighter note, I am grateful that we have access to every Phish show in the "catalog," if you will. When I was introduced to Phish, there really wasn't much of an internet at all. No cell phones either, but that's another story.
The band that penned such lyrics as "Whatever you do, take care of your shoes," won't be around forever. Enjoy them - and the whole experience - while you still can.
And thanks ucPete for being the glue that holds this fine website together!
