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 have come to appreciate Show Of Life as a sort of "art imitates art", with awkward and cliche lyrics mirroring the "struggle and strife" that they describe at first, then gaining strength in their pithy wisdom as they describe the same. I groan with everyone else when it first appears, but invariably it moves me deeply before it ends. Again - art imitates art.
