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.
And that was certainly not news. As written, it was just a tongue in cheek graphic to spur conversation about a song from Phish, because as you know, this is a Phish site. That's what we do here. Lot's of people seem to love it anywhere, many hate it anywhere, many think it would be best early in a first set, or outdoors, or as an encore. All valid opinions and I've enjoyed hearing different people's takes on it (especially the interesting Tennesse Jed comparison).
Funny thing, you could take literally ANY Phish tune, and write a couple paragraphs about it, and get wildly different responses: love it, hate it, best ever, worst ever, etc.
