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.
In some ways, though, they're symptomatic of a problem with the summer '03 (and later '2.0') Phish: it's not like Hood needs these ridiculous cock-rock jams to be a sublime piece of music. You get the feeling they just couldn't help themselves, back then. The positive spin on that was 'dude, everything is getting JAMMED OUT right now!' The reality was closer to 'dude, they just can't play the same variety of music with the old focus and authority, anymore.'
Still, I do have a soft spot for those Hoods.
