The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
I think that what Stip wrote about in his WFS review can only be understood by people who were just 14-15 years old in the early 90s. I mean, by people who grew up musically and emotionally with Pearl Jam and with the Seattle music scene from the very beginning. By people like Stip - and like me for example

I don’t agree with that at all. I was 18-20 in the early 90s and I understood what he was saying perfectly.

I mean I do think it's a great song in its own right, but I was 16 when I got into Pearl Jam. I think if that Ten era Eddie is what got you into the band - especially if you were alive for that era, but also if it is just what drew you in at a later date (like, say Andrew Watt), Stevie is activating something very specific. If that's not your favorite mode of Pearl Jam it can still be a great song (it is!) but I think you're less likely to have that kind of reaction. Or if you do, it's solely on the strength of the song.

You realize I said I actually DID say I understood it, right?

Picturing in my mind, a music video for this beautiful song that’s a slow-mo montage with dissolves of footage from the early days. Then when the song picks up at the end, quick cuts of video at regular speed from later in their career. Simple and effective.
