Weekend Song – Pearl Jam
January 19, 2008
A part of moving is letting go, not trying to rein stuff in too much. The mind like water thing. I’m not saying I can do it, but I get it. Doing it’s another thing.
Here’s one from Pearl Jam, who can do both anthemic self-affacing.
What do we want?
We’re more interested in what YOU think we want.
It’s been a busy week here on the site. I didn’t expect to post every day, but that’s how it turned out, because I didn’t have to. Funny, yeah. Maybe THAT’S letting go. Like a dark mood in winter, where it’s that you don’t realise you’re dwelling on it until you stop. Maybe you’re gripping the leash so tight you can’t feel it after a while.
I am fuel, you are friends
and we’ve got the means to make amends.
I am lost, I’m no guide
but I’m by your side.
Listen: Leash

Ooo, I like me a bit of Pearl Jam. Eddie Vedder is one of the most charismatic performers I’ve ever seen.
I’m going to go and have a think about your commentary now as well.
You know what Pearl Jam means, right?
Right?
I hope it’s unrelated to Andy’s ex girlfriend’s menstrual cycle, that’s all.
Katy – It the answer monkey jizz? Pearl Jam, I think, was named after Eddie Vedder’s grandmother’s jelly. Song, anyway.
Thanks Wendy – I thought it was about time to bust out the PJs.
What?
See, only you. And maybe Katy. Wrong.
I don’t think it particularly has to be monkey spooge, no. But yes, that’s the general idea. Or so I believe.
Oh fabulous. And I just said I like me a bit of it
Actually, in fairness…..
NO. This is not that kind of blog.
First the nose, then the pearl jam. Wendy, are… are you… are you going to become a sex blogger?
Because if you are I think you should say so. We’re all friends here.
The problem with me and sex blogging is that you had to explain to me what Pearl Jam was. I don’t know what any of it MEANS. Cliff said Eddie Vedder’s grandmother’s jelly. I don’t even know if that’s rude or not. I’ve never even had sex anyway.
Oh, me neither.
In fact, I don’t even have any naughty bits.
THis is THis is R-rated now?
Leave a comment. Play nice. I will turn this blog around.
