Random Thoughts, the Sequel

No. I said "some of the lyrics out there are dumb to me." That doesn't mean it's not up for criticism, but what works for one doesn't work for someone else.

Pearl Jam has nailed as much stuff as anyone out there of recent vintage. "Jeremy" is all that need be said for further proof. It's a stretch to call the band big-time faves of mine, but I do have some of their stuff and they get it.

 

Nope, he's older than me, but he's a Montana native and that makes up for a lot!

 

I remember the first time I saw Jeremy. Video kicked my ass. Unbelievable. Even 16 years later it's powerful.

 

They did do a video for "Do The Evolution," what, five years ago? It was a Todd McFarlane animated video.

 

Jeremy was the last video they appeared in until they a did couple for Riot Act and then a few more for the self-titled album last year. And "Do the Evolution" is off Yield, so that's 1998.

 

They have a McFarlane animated video?!? Kick ass.

Can you tell I was without MTV for the better part of my formative years?

I knew it was years ago, just couldn't place exactly when.

 

Damn, that was cool. Thanks!

 

Yeah, I'm kind of a Pearl Jam dork so I know these things.
