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 believe that they are really hesitant to re-do a lot of the things they did in the past because this band has always been about trying things that are new and different. And no matter what, even if it happens less often, this band is still unpredictable! They can go from a mediocre run-of-the-mill show to something entirely mind blowing and visa-versa. The excitement, for me, is still all there. I just find myself waiting a little longer for it at times. Doesn't mean I'm going to stop going to shows.
And as for new songs versus old jams, I mostly look forward to Halfway to the Moon, Army of One, A Song I Heard the Ocean Sing, Light, Bug, and ofcourse Pebbles and Marbles (my favorite Phish song). It gets me more excited when a newer track hits my ears because there is so much room for it to go into uncharted territory, and for something that has never been done with it before to happen.
A rant, I know. But I just felt like writing. So you all at Jones and SPAC.
