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.
@Plicculus I'm kinda inclined to agree. '2001' is easily one of the most Phish-ified 'covers' in the catalog -- more like a reinterpretation of a reworking, rather than a straight cover. I'm not too familiar with the history of 'Halley's Comet,' but it's origins are similar to 'I Didn't Know,' and no one seems to be arguing about that one. It seems to me that these are basically songs written by a band friend and then adopted by Phish. Glad the point has come up, as it suggests that Phish is flirting with a fine 'line,' and/or good-naturedly fucking with us, as they'll do. ;-)
