to look into your eyes, I could swear you care. But I am good at being wrong,as you know this already! I wish I could erase you from my mind.you have taken over all of my senses completly. I no longer see! I no longer hear, I only feel you. Its a sad sad day, dont think it will ever stop raining. I havent seen the sun in months. Noah's flood wasnt shit compared to mine. shards of pain rip through my soul. tearing and bleeding, I waste away. No love at all for me in this world. I am all alone. only thing I carry is a pocket full of pain and the memory of my most precious. You know who you are, please dont go far. I need you. I love you.I miss you. I want US to be US! not you and me, or him and her. I want to hear you say I DO! I want this dream to come true! I love you and only you and that will never change no matter what, not even if I never see you again. I could never love another woman other than you, I shouldnt love you. but yet.......... I DO!

So is this person lonely? Or sad maybe? I wish they would stop beating around the bush, STAND UP and vehemently TELL the world how they feel! Sitting there all listless and passive won't find your missed connection my friend...

Cat Stevens - 'Don't Be Shy'

Pearl Jam. I remember being a young man, absolutely obsessed with all things Pearl Jam. I can remember spending HOURS in our one cool record shop in Columbus,OH - Singing Dog Records - scouring the import section, looking for anything new from Eddie and company. I am embarrassed to say how many insanely overpriced, poor quality bootlegs I bought in those days. Cheaply made albums that were recorded by some drunk guy in the 300th row at some Pearl Jam show somewhere...discs that were no doubt pressed in some guys basement in Europe, then shipped to the US to be sold to stupid kids like me.

One of the millions of reasons I still love Pearl Jam is for the fiercely fan friendly approach to the music business. I was SO thrilled when the band starting offering soundboard recordings of EVERY show they played, double discs that were sold for an oh so reasonable price of lik3 $11.99. I bought a ridiculous amount of those too, but didn't go totally broke doing so. I think I have seen 10 or 11 PJ shows, and it is so great to have recordings of most of those shows...they make a wonderful audio time capsule.

Enough waxing nostalgic, here are four of my favorite PJ covers...some Radiohead, Tom Waits,Cat Stevens, and Tom Petty.
