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.
There is very little proposed in the original manifesto. Mostly complaints and comparisons used as reasoning to support an entitled opinion.
If we never meet on tour that is fine. I don't really go "on tour" anymore. That was my point. You can love Phish and move on to other things. If people want to see every phish show and phish is willing to offer webcasts then great. If your car breaks down on the road to the show do you throw a tantrum about the maker of the car and make remarks of how they do nothing to support you? It is a reality of the choice people make.
This whole issue is ridiculous. "I paid $30 for a webcast and so I am entitled to a product." Cool, I understand. But if it doesn't work out, take it like a grown-up, save the conspiracy-esque drivel and let your actions and dollars speak for you by not spending them on this product. STOP ORDERING WEBCASTS. Request a refund. Don't take up space here with some waste of space commentary on how a night was ruined. The level of disappointment expressed in the original statement could have been said in one paragraph and made a better point.
Have a good one.
