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.
At this point, 'jaded' fans should fuck off for their own sake. The instant a fan decides that his 'jadedness' (self-regard) is a function of the music itself, rather than a purely egotistical malady, he's better off staying home with his memories and giving his ticket to someone who can enjoy the experience on its own terms. Talking about the beam in my eye too yes, but there's no shortage of same around here.
Three great things about last night's show: (1) the way Swept Away emerges from MFMF's shadow to flicker, glow, and go Weird; (2) the jam from 8/7/09's Sally smiling out of the foggy Light jam; (3) the hushed middle portion of the Piper jam; and (bonus) (4) how Kung is sooooooooooo stupid and we all don't mind, or pretend not to mind, because when we get to the future we'll die there with our friends and so why bitch about small things. Even others' jadedness (oh) or (oh) my own. Plus that's a nice drawn-out ending to Kung, isn't it!
