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 was constructive in my criticism and tried to end on a positive note but you guys won't have it.
It would be nice if you all would stop circling the wagons around each other like a juvenile high school clique every time someone gets their toes stepped on.
I love this site and try to be positive most all of the time. Only a couple of people in this thread have been nasty in their comments, most everyone else was simply giving honest feedback. There's no need to escalate the dialogue by getting all defensive.
The reviewer took a different approach. I respect that. It was also a risk. Many people, myself included, have come to look forward to the regularly excellent commentary and perspective that comes from the admin. team, and I appreciate all of you for it, but you folks are waaaaay too sensitive at times and this is one of them.
There's nothing nasty or thankless about expecting some musical analysis when we come to this blog to read a recap. You've set the standard for it, and people have come to expect it. When it doesn't happen, you need to know that they'll be some dissappointed folks.
