Kind of puts a damper on blogger bc I can't post photos for now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Saving up for a new PC</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using the old IPad isn't the same for the editing I like to do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just wanted to let you know I'm still out here</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

character or personality from his outer appearance, especially the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face" title="Face">face</a>. The term <i>physiognomy</i>

word," Inez said. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"You obviously move on and the world keeps spinning
and the gigs keep coming and stuff like that, but sometimes, especially
like on the tour bus late at night when there are no sounds going on and
it's really silent, I start thinking about Layne and stuff like that,
still to this day. And I don't ever want to stop thinking about Layne."</div>

<i>I personally think if you give the music</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>voice.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>He and Jerry have found a way to harmonize </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>and keep the same feel of Alice</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>You never hear William trying to copy Layne's nuance's.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>When you hear him sing older Alice tunes I think</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>he is actually doing a beautiful tribute</i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I have to admit</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I have always loved Kim's sense of humor</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>very dry - and a lot of times</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>it seemed like interviewers had no idea when he</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>was being sarcastic because he pulled such a straight</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>face when doing it.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I'd watch the interviewer trying to figure where to go next</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>or actually trying to come back at him...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>never realizing he was totally un-serious.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>You'd finally see the smallest hint on his face</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>of satisfaction in knowing this person had NO idea</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>who they were really interviewing or why.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>If you passed his test - then he really opened up.</i><br />
<i>Had a great vid to share and the damn thing won't load.</i><br />
<i>Boo..</i><br />
<i>instead -</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>An old tune - recently played..</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Slaves and Bulldozers </i></div>

<i>Thanks for coming back</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Vitalogy again this week....</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Just wanted you to see the massive size of this book</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>compared to the Pearl Jam booklet...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Today I'm going to keep it simple </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>but maybe not sweet...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Did you ever notice page 17</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>in the PJ book?</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>A set of dental x-rays...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>definitely fitting for the medical contexts</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>of the book right?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Did you look close enough to see that the x-rays</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>are labeled as belonging to Eddie Vedder?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>With a date of 12/9/92? </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Of course I have to wonder if that was the date</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>the films were taken</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>or is that some significant date Ed marked on there</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>himself?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>More investigating to come.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>When you look closely at the the bottom</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>box on the x-ray where the </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>examiner should fill in their name</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>(usually the doctor is signed here in case of identifying needs)</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>there has been a label placed in to the box</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>with the word</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Corduroy</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Pearl Jam fans usually know all about the</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>premise of the song Corduroy...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Referring to a jacket that Ed used to wear.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>When the whole "grunge" thing exploded</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>and became exploited...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Ed felt that way about himself too...</i><br />
<i>exploited and not in control.. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Seeing ads in fashion magazines</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>for "grunge" style clothing...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>now going for hundreds of dollar<b>s</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>it was really quite ridiculous. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><b>"</b>I don't want to hear from those who know-</i></div>

<i>they can buy but can't put on my clothes"<b> </b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>exemplifies his feelings towards the frenzy...</i><br />
<i>"those who know" - I'm thinking the people who create the hype-</i><br />
<i>who "know" what's cool..where everything is happening...</i><br />
<i>what the latest and greatest is....</i><br />
<i>"they can buy" - self explanatory</i><br />
<i>"but can't put on my clothes"</i><br />
<i> a person can't gain an identity</i><br />
<i>or acquire an attitude </i><br />
<i>or walk in someone else's shoes -simply from a purchase..?</i><br />
<i>You can't be ME...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I know he thought is was pure stupidity and greed.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I'm going to examine Corduroy a little further in the future...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>today was just the beginning...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>This is when Corduroy was a "New song"</i><br />

Photo Friday....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a few fans working on some of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
their personal photos....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so until they are ready</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought I would give</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mike McCready a little plug here...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's photo is a self shot of Mike from his Twitter feed...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The story is...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mike reunited with his 80's band</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shadow this week for a little</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
show at Easy Street Records in Seattle ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The guys seemed to have a blast - old friends</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
having good fun and rocking out together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love that Mike always seems eager to help out</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a friend with a cause, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to take time to stop with fans,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
just loving life lately and so into his work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He has talked about his struggles before</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and of all the PJ members he was the only </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
one I was surprised to hear he had so much</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
inner turmoil.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A song like Inside Job</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(written by Mike) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that I featured in my personal photo</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on Wednesday...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is a peek into the soul of someone</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
who is sharing their troubles and trying</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to come out on the up side.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is the Shadow</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
show at Easy Street</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also want to give Mike my humble thanks for</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
trying to help shine a light on</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Healthcare reform by sharing his story about Insurance </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
coverage denial becasue of his Crohn's<br />
I have had a similar experience with Healthcare<br />
and it is scary and unfair.<br />
I could tell a long story that would shock most<br />
but we're all about music here - so we'll stow it for another time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mike has also lent his persona</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to help friend Steve Gleason spread the word about</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ALS.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have written about my personal</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
experience with ALS on another blog</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I will share it here eventually.<br />
(only because of Mike and Pearl Jam's involvement in the cause)<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can tell Mike has a big heart </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and his efforts</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
no matter how small he may think they are -</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
are greatly appreciated. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can follow Mike on Twitter </div>

<i>I wanted to throw in</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>an extra post this week</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>to share some</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>great new music.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Soundgarden bassist</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Ben Shepherd</i></div>

<i>released a solo</i></div>

<i>project 2 days ago </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"In Deep Owl" </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I have to admit I was not sure what</i></div>

<i>to expect from Ben.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I think he is a total animal on the Bass sometimes</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>and then others </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>he's tearing it up</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i> but he looks totally bored.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>He cracks me up. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>He's entirely under-rated in my opinion. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>If you have an open mind</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I think it does tell a story....</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The description says the seller acquired them</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>from someone close to Andy.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I have to admit the first time I saw them it actually made me sad.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I know we live in a capitalist society and what you own is yours to do with...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Andy was only 24 when he passed</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>and this year marked the 23rd Anniversary of his departure.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>It seems un-real.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Like it was only yesterday....</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>It is so cliche' but the older we get time passes so quickly.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>How is it possible it has been over 20 years?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>That being said - I guess it made me</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>sad because it still seems too soon for things like this</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>to be bought and sold in my mind.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I'd like to think whomever gave it to this person</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>hoped someone would really</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>cherish ,appreciate , and preserve it.</i><br />
<i>Hopefully that will be the case. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>That being said</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i> it is neat to be able to view something like this.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>To get a peek into the mind of</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>the Man of Golden Words..</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>during 1983.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>All this being said I would like to encourage you</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>to go and watch the movie</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>by Scot Barbour</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><a href="http://malfunkshun.com/malfunkshun_content/film_boxed_set.php">Malfunkshun - The Andrew Wood story</a> </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The film really gives much more insight</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>into Andys life and where he was coming from.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Much more than what was in PJ20.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Interviews with friends, family,</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i> and a lot more footage of Andy that you have probably never seen.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>To close today instead of music</i><br />
<i>I wanted to share a video</i><br />
<i>with some behind the scenes footage...</i><br />
<i>It was taken during the "baby" photo shoot</i><br />
<i>for Mother Love Bone</i><br />
<i>I think it just gives a nice glimpse into</i><br />
<i>the boys and Andy when they were</i><br />
<i>not "performing"...</i><br />
<i>Andy is "working" yet funny and being himself...</i><br />

Today I'm going to switch</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
things up a bit and talk about<br />
some of the NEW music coming out of Seattle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I'm going to share a bit about</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Walking Papers</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There really is a lot of evolved music</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
STILL</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
coming out of Seattle...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to admit the first time I heard of</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Walking Papers was a few months ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Funny enough it was on Xana LaFuente's</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
website.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(our dearly departed Andrew Wood's fiance)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I started hearing more buzz about</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
them through other 10C fans. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I finally pulled them up</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was pleasantly surprised.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They have been referred to as a </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"Supergroup" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The funny thing to me however is no one</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
made mention of the fact that</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
pretty much all of the band members are </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
VERY well seasoned and well known musicians.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The chatter was just that they were this great new band...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
not like they were trying to ride on</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
their past.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The fans seemed to not care about</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
where in musical history they came from.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just that they were amazing and refreshing. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Line up includes-</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jeff Angell – lead vocals, guitar, piano</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Duff McKagan – bass, backing vocals</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Benjamin Anderson – keyboards, backing vocals</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Barrett Martin – drums, percussion, upright bass, keyboards, backing vocals</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Former members of great bands like</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Gun's and Roses</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Missionary Position</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Screaming Trees</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mike McCready of Pearl Jam even made some contributions </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to the album.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Their album was mixed by Seattle legend Jack Endino</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and released in Oct. 2012</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They recently played at great show at</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Easy Street Records</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
alas - something was going</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on with the mic and you really can't</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
hear the vocals much.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a great live performance though.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I decided instead to pull two songs to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
show what I think represent the range</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Walking Papers</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first I don't think you will expect from</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a band with the members you just read.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's haunting , beautiful, and a bit twisted ...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and now we will rock out</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pretty cool huh?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not what you were expecting was it?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks to all the great bees who have been buzzing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
about </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Walking Papers!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
P.S. - Just in case you did not know-</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Duff McKagan is Seattle born and bred.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm going to get into a little bit of Duff's<br />
mad musical circles<br />
from when he was a teenager<br />
a little later on. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Have a Rockin' Monday guys!</div>

<i>Today we're going to look</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>at a fun passage in</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Vitalogy...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>This one I just love because it attempts to</i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>stuff they blame on P.M.S. etc...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I think the point at which the passage reads</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"crowding of the intellect to the neglect of the body;</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>solitary vice and novel reading are among the many causes of this disease;</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>also disappointments in love"</i></div>

<i>Or we shall be driven mad by our disappointing love life?!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>If this isn't a load of wad I don't know what else is?!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Remember the other day how I was commenting about</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>how people were twisting facts to control and influence people.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I take that back for this specific passage...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>whomever wrote this one</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>obviously had no good relationships with any female</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>or at least he cared not to find anything out about the real</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>person or persons he was living with.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>What a schmutz!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I don't think there is any Pearl Jam song other than</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"F me in the Brain" that could</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>go along with this passage.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I often wondered why F me In the brain was only played</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>twice by the band...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>maybe someone was just a little hysterical himself</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>and having "woman" problems?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The song was played on </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Nov. 5th 1993 in Indio, California</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>A couple of weeks ago I was looking</i></div>

<i>for some albums on E-Bay...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I came across a listing for The Screaming Life EP</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>by Soundgarden...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>an original pressing.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I can not find an MTV New Music Awards...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>However there was something called </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>the </i>CMJ Radio Network<i> which made an audio recording</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>of their Oct. 26th award ceremony which included</i></div>

<i>"Ugly Truth" from Louder Than Love</i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>then there is this clip</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>that MTV taped for 120 minutes</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>and called it the CMJ Music Marathon...</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i> I'm assuming it was all bands from the CMJ shows</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>and some of their </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>in the van and those shared hotel rooms.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><i>So who was </i><i>t</i></span><i>he postcard recipient Billy Atwell ?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Billy is also a drummer like Matt!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>A new find for me - the band he refers to as the Inbred was</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>quite popular for a time in their circle.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Of all places in Morgantown, WVA.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Who knew WVA had a hardcore scene</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>back in the 80's?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I have to say I think that's pretty cool.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I have a nephew who lives in WVA and he's</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>always felt a bit out of place..</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>He's definitely more alternative compared to the scene</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>where he grew up.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Maybe this would make him have some renewed faith </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>in sticking with being yourself.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>If a hardcore punker Could make it in WVA in the 80's</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>you certainly can too!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I of course then had to look up the band </i><br />
<i>and Billy is a kick-ass drummer!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The band is pretty darn good!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>They broke up </i><br />
<i>but Billy is still out there kickin' it!</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>He is still living in El Paso as far as I can tell.</i></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>It would be interesting to know </i><br />
<i>how Billy and Matt met...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Look the Inbred up for some fun on You Tube along with album title Family Affair.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Hope you enjoyed this little peek into a bit of Matt Cameron</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>and a piece of his past...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Here is a 2011 live version of Ugly Truth</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Matt's drumming is a lot more aggressive and polished at the same time</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>and I like the more mature control Chris has</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>over his voice.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The early versions are great but </i><br />
<i>Chris always sang in that really high pitch </i><br />
<i>and I prefer the one he is using now.</i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Yeah...I know....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What?!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Die hard fans - you know this story...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
New fans - here's a quick version...<br />
<br />
Bass Player Jeff Ament was interviewed<br />
by newspaper -The Missoulan<br />
and this was his story...<br />
<br />
"When we were recording our first record, we had a per diem of about
$10. So when we got lunch at the store across the street, we'd always
buy a pack of basketball cards. When we turned in our tape, we didn't
have a name for the band yet so we put a Mookie Blaylock card in the
case. We were about to go on a tour and still didn't have a name and
needed one quickly. We were told it didn't need to be the name that we
were going to use forever, just something for the tour. Someone saw the
Mookie Blaylock card and said, ‘How about Mookie Blaylock?' We decided
to go with it and did a 10-show tour with Alice in Chains as Mookie
Blaylock. Mookie was cool about it, too—he didn't sue us. I actually got
to meet him later on and shoot around a little bit. We also made a
Pearl Jam T-shirt with a picture of him on it. I guess we owe Mookie a
lot."<br />
<br />
Of course we know they eventually changed the name<br />
to<br />
Pearl Jam<br />
and the rest is history...<br />
<br />
I'm sure Mookie never imagined being linked<br />
forever in history<br />
to one of the best rock bands of all time...<br />
<br />
Let's listen to a little Mookie Blaylock<br />
shall we?<br />

This video was taken at The Club with No Name<br />
2-11-1991<br />
Funny how the guy introducing them<br />
says<br />
"This is not Mother Love Bone"<br />
This is the entire show<br />
so if you have some time to kill<br />
the footage includes Mookie Blaylock<br />
and<br />
Alice in Chains...<br />
<br />
I know, I know....all my Ten Clubbers are like<br />
tell us something we don't know!<br />
Don't forget<br />
- we are helping to school a whole new generation of fans here...<br />
<br />
Rock on guys!<br />

<i>P.S. - I forget to mention Mookie's number is </i><br />

<i>thought it was cool-</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<i>A photograph of a small girl sitting on a clowns lap</i><br />
<i> and the above excerpt</i><br />
<i>were placed in the album booklet by Jeff...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Did anyone ever think to turn to page 19 in the booklet?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Did you just glance over it and not pay it a second look?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Well do it now...</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Page 19 in the Pearl Jam booklet</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>top left begins</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"</i>No other one thing tends so strongly<i> </i>to bind and hold</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the early affection of a married couple as the bringing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
into the world of beautiful, healthy, intelligent, welcome children.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To bring into the world unwelcome children is one of the most</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
awful crimes of which the parents can be guilty. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It brings a curse to the child, to the parents and to the world."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>at the bottom of said page is a little</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>story of an unfortunate girl who had given birth</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>in a bathroom stall and thrown the baby in the trash.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Ed laments for the soul of the child and what</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>would drive a young woman to these measures</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>in such a horrible condition.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Now turn to page 14 and the lyrics for the song</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"Whipping"</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i> Written on a copy of a petition</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>written on a copy of a petition to then president</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Bill Clinton</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>asking for intervention</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>in the escalating violent tactics of Pro-Life activists.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Free speech I believe in but these activists are</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>obstructing freedoms of patients and doctors which are also</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>protected by law.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Coincidence? I think not.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Ed has been very vocal about his beliefs in</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>women's reproductive rights from the beginning.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>Many a time did we see PRO-CHOICE</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>scrawled across his arm in black Sharpie</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>whenever he had the opportunity to be in the</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>media's eyes.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I also want to look at this sentence</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>a little closer</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
"It brings a curse to the child, to the parents and to the world"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>The die-hard Pearl Jam fans</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>know that Ed has referred to the song</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"Alive"</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>from Ten</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>as a story about</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"</i>The Curse"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I'd like to think he's re-enforcing the fact</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>that his parentage issues </i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>did indeed feel like a curse to him by including this passage?</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>It didn't just affect the person who carried the secret</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>but it drastically affected the child and the whole</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>world they all lived in.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>This one simple thing.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>????</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>These of course are my own thoughts.</i><br />
<br />
<i>Could all this be purely coincidental ?</i><br />
<i>Maybe -</i><br />
<i>but I like to think that Ed and Jeff are pretty meticulous</i><br />
<i>and a lot of thought is put into the artwork</i><br />
<i>for the albums.</i><br />
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>What do you think?</i></div>
