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.
The trouble starts when people just can't let go of their precious little snowflakey opinions, forgetting that they are only just that -- OPINIONS -- and start getting argumentative and just plain mean about why everyone else is "wrong." That's when I just stop reading and move along.
Back to your point about the various things we may or may not have picked up on while watching/listening live -- I love reading/hearing about stuff like that! I really appreciate the little things, fine details, especially with Phish. I tend to try listening VERY closely (some parts more than others, of course) so it's always fun to read a review or comment and be like, "Oh! I must have missed that! I'll have to check it out when I listen back," etc.
Playful discussions are great; arguments and selfish nit-picking are not. We're all in this bathtub together, folks!
