Since yield, i feel like all the pre new album interviews have reporters who are so tangently involved with pearl jam asking the same questions. How many times do we need to have someone ask how it was struggling through fame and the ticketmaster situation? That was over 10 years ago. and the answers have been said for every album since yield.

If you could ask more focused questions that fans like ourselves would be interested. what would you ask?

I'd ask, "as you have more material and more songs that you cover, your concerts have gone from about one hour to pushing 4 hours. With the energy that you guys put into each show, when does exhaustion start to settle in and you think, "this leg has to end."?

and
"when you look at your fan base and see that there are fans who are right leaning and religious, the almost exact opposite of the views you throw out to the public, does it make you feel like, "holy crap our music is good enough to get people to listen to us even though we are on the opposite end of the spectrum," or "we have more work to do to get the message out?"

I don't expect answers from you guys, but it'd be cool to hear what questions we'd have for the band.

Will you answer that SVT question "What does Pearl Jam mean to you?" please?

In a hypothetical world, if you could marry one of the Sleater-Kinney girls, who would you pick?

What do you make of the Nazi-Soviet pact of 1939? Do you think it was a necessary defensive measure by Stalin to buy some time, or did their betryal of the popular front guarantee a longer, bloodier war?

One of my questions would have been:

"Why do you still love America?"

I'd pay handsomely to attend this, if:

*The crowd was relatively small

*I was guaranteed to meet the band afterwards
