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.
I was being facetious, of course. It is exactly this sort of fragility, though, that should be discarded before reading a "recap" on this blog. If you consider yourself a new or newer fan, do not read Phish.Net blog "recaps" looking to have your opinions somehow validated by a vet. It's not fair to yourself or the recapper. Your opinion is all that matters. And it betrays profound ignorance and insecurity simply to flame a recapper with whom you disagree (eg by calling him or her jaded) without explaining the basis for your disagreement with the opinions on the music. That is all I was really getting at. And it isn't about "negativity" or "positivity," either. You may be different, but I rarely find 100% "positive" reviews credible.
