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.
For whatever reason, while watching the epic Mike's Groove, I mentally compared it to an Olympic figure skater's routine in the gold medal round. With the judges unanimously waiting to dish out perfect 10's, Phish attempted to land the reverse triple axle from Crosseyed> Weekapaug and...oh no! They landed on their collective ass. But what shapes a true champion is how they rise after they fall down. I felt the Black Sabath-like Weekapaug was Trey musically expressing his inner rage that they botched the landing. They gutted out an evil third wind, elevating the routine back to elite status as they stomped all over Nashville and capped it off with some jaw dropping major key shredding that left tears in the judges eyes.
And with a unanimous score of 9.99, the gold medal goes to... Phish. USA! USA!
I'm not a figure skater, but that's just how I saw it. Lol
