My grandmother really liked this song. I'll leave it up to you to decide if that's a good thing or not.

was she a grandmother at the time the song was released, or just a regular mother?

what other things does your grandmother like/not like so we can give this some context?

She likes Bing Crosby and Neil Diamond. And she's way into Jesus.

I like a few Neil Diamond cuts. Solitary Man is a favorite.

And now that we know all about your grandma how do you feel about Black?

Pearl Jam's best song, in my opinion. Numbers 2-10 might shift around but this is set in stone for me.

Which of these “Black” versions by Pearl Jam do you prefere: the Unplugged or the “classic” one?

the "classic" one? lol where you at this show? there's a few versions of black that compare to the unplugged performance, and most of them are from the 90s. ottawa 2005 was great, but this song has suffered as the band aged. i still think the 'unplugged' version is the definitive version, complete w/ wrong lyrics and everything.

This was a wonderful performance, and what I expect modern day "Black" to sound like.
