Never have I met anyone so obsessed with PEARL JAM than a friend of mine from home. For as long as I've known him I can honestly say that few conversations have taken place without a reference to P.J. in some way or another.
About 6 years ago, before having listened to any of their songs, my dad brought me to one of their concerts. Seeing Eddie Vedder singing "Alive" on stage with a Canadian flag wrapped around him was so captivating. The passion that he portrays in his music is so riveting that you can't help but also feel some of that love and devotion felt so enthusiastically by my friend.
Ever since that concert I have been a big fan of Pearl Jam and it makes me sad to say that i will be missing the concert tonight in Hamilton, Ontario. But of course, my Pearl Jam-loving friend will be there, and will find any way that he can to be as close to the stage as humanly possible.
Here is one of my favourite songs:
I Am Mine- Pearl Jam
