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.
Did you hear that sound? It was the sound of the point soaring right over your head.
I had already conceded your observation about the nature of our digital society and what a person can reasonably expect - i.e. what you do in a crowd may be seen before a much larger crowd on the 'tronz.
But because it's possible doesn't make it right. Had you seen the video you'd likely find it thuddingly unfunny and completely unnecessary, like most others did. Or I dunno, maybe you're incapable of putting yourself in somebody else's shoes.
I'm not trying to censor anybody. I'm trying to get people to think about tradeoffs, and about what kind of atmosphere and environment they want to contribute to at Phish shows - which as I mentioned are places that people go to express themselves and feel a bit freer than they might in their regular lives.
Not that complicated.
