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.
People are always so quick to defend Phish when they are "attacked" in any way (let them piss in your ears). Chris wasn't attacking Phish, he was pointing out how poorly run LivePhish is. And poorly run it is. 4 years since the last update? Streams behaving like the 2000 Vegas stream, yet it's 2014? Yeah, that's garbage.
People say this has nothing to do with Phish the band. That's ridiculous. If it comes from Phish, Inc., it ultimately goes back to JEMP. I understand why they made Phish, Inc. a bare bones operation after Coventry. And with that bare bones operation came the outsourcing of Phish management to Red Light. And that is where the issue lies, IMO. If Dionysian Productions were still managing Phish, I don't think the LivePhish debacle would continue. Not sure where Nugs falls into the Red Light / Dionysian comparison, but I truly if believe if Phish were still actively engaged with all things Phish, A-Z, the way they were before the previous dissolution of Phish, Inc., things would be different.
