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.
The argument someone made against your "Phish blogger" comment was incorrect. A sportscaster saying a clutch dinger would silence detractors is reasonable. A slugger in a slump probably hears about it from his detractors quite a bit. . .if he's "big" enough, sports talk radio, the local/national newspapers, the news media, bloggers and the public at large that are either fans of the player, team or just aware of someone in a slump. When he hits a walk-off homer or something, it silences his detractors; and he probably wants it to.
Whereas Phish probably doesn't care what four online bloggers have to say about them. I'm sure they do a little, but they're a major rock band. They're gonna be successful, and the blogs saying that Phish is playing well, but not quite to their peak, but really well isn't something a major rock band would work on giving a "f--- you" to.
Where am I again?
