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.
Arrogance or not, our hard earned $$'s allow them to live a very comfortable life and live their dream. I love Phish because the realize this and are not arrogant musicians who simply play their show for themselves. Bands that do that toil in bars as you speak. We pay our money and we expect a certain quality of show for the ticket, travel, hotel expenses we put out.
Agree not every show is going to be bust out but that's what make less than average shows sting that much more when you invest time and energy and your show is not consistent with the rest of what the tour displays. If I had not done SPAC and only done DTE, I would not feel to happy and that's my right because of the money I'm laying down. Bands always need to respect their audiences and that does not make us arrogant. There is no show if people aren't in the seats.
