Pearl Jam
To think this all started 7 years ago...
The Stone Faction
(funny City Rock Guy With A Marshall)
Meets the Jeff faction
(serious Montana skate punk with a basketball)
Green River
3 records. 3 tours. The Seattle Sound sub pop loud. long hair.
Etc...
...Mainly Etc.
One thing didn't lead to annother and they left.
Mother Love Bone
2 records. 1 tour...Love Rock. Lots of promise. Talk. Hype.
Then, Andy left to go do his solo record.
Once again, the Stone and Jeff Faction opt out 2 do a new thang
Mookie Blaylock.....Reeenk Roink....
Pearl Jam
3 new guys. The kiss ass function.
EDDIE...
(Master of words. Earth Guru).
DAVE...
(Percussive God. The Quiet one...watch out).
MIKE...
(King of coffee driver guitar color, a blues man).
Pearl Jam....
Fate, Quickness. Hard work. No Talk. No hype.
The comming together of 10.
....hands....eyes....ears.....
with coitus & gold-E & a deep bench in N.Y. and L.A.
the journey begins.
like your favourite plant....just add water.
Watch Pearl Jam grow.
Clearly this was written several years ago.

Also, Ament is the creative brain behind Pearl Jam's album covers and art. If you ever find a PJ album on
