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 don't know where this impulse to somehow protect and care for the artists who inspire us comes from, but it is genuine. it just doesn't apply, isn't sensible or relevant, to matters of TASTE. and it seems to me that this impulse is especially irrelevant to the case of an extremely successful rock band making new songs because it's fun.
what i mean is, they definitely don't care.
