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.
Yeah, there's essentially no way I would have figured it out if it was just the Bowie. Nobody would've unless they already knew it, which is where the multiple jams shine. They make it solvable by the average fan, and also prevent it from being immediately solved by some lucky person who just happens to recognize the clip.
I was a bit daunted by the multi-jam MJMs at first, but I see their value now. I do think that's a good idea though, mixing it up from time to time.
I think the radio silence might come from people being afraid to share possible correct answers that other people might be looking for. I know I wasn't about to post that Possum unless I was sure I had all three.
