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.
You're correct that some of the new, not good songs (looking at SYSF) have produced incredible jams, which is why I'm not going anywhere when those tunes get played. Some haven't though, and you've singled out one (DWYS) that really hasn't gone anywhere since its debut.
Personally, I wouldn't head for the restrooms during, say, the debut of a new song. It's a new tune, of course I want to hear it!
However, I think it's okay for people to not be thrilled about seeing A Life Beyond The Dream for their 8th time. I think that's actually a perfectly reasonable time for a bathroom or concessions break.
With peace and love, Drift While You're Sleeping has not, to date, produced any "inventive jamming".
