Mocking and jerkity... yeah you should be proud:(
Okay, I'll bite. It's nice that you don't consider yourself a stalker (what is one?) but this was a clear violation of his personal space. If you want to tell him what his music means to you write the fanclub a letter or post something on the boards, but respect his privacy and boundaries. You were in the wrong, even if you think you had good intentions.

B, would you feel any better if the rest of us all thought you were nuts and called you a dick? Cause I'm sure we can make that happen.
That's kinda what happens everyday.

that fact that you guys are saying this is normal for a person to erupt like that on the phone is appalling.
These two statements don't jive, baby.

Why does Jeff Ament still have a landline?
Cause its Montana, shit they probably still have party lines out there.
They have apostrophes too.

Hi guys longtime reader of this board. I know this wasn't the smartest thing to do, but i didn't think that Jeff was so high-falutin' that I'd get the response I did when I called his house in Montana. I just looked it up on a search engine and there it was. I wasn't thinking like a "star" and instead thought "Oh, Ill call him up and tell him what a great musical inspiration he's been to me with his Pearl Jam and other works". Well, his mother answered the phone (I think anyway, it was some sweet older lady). I asked if Jeff was there and sure enough he was and he comes to the phone. I'm really surprised at this point, that it would actually be possible to talk to a musician this easy (even though it's not like asking for Paul McCartney or Bob Dylan, etc.). I ask him is this is the Jeff Ament that played bass in Pearl Jam, and he asks, "who is this?". I tell him my name. I'm not calling from a blocked number or anything, and I'm not stalking the guy, so I'm thinking I'm not doing anything weird. Before I can tell Jeff what a great bassist I think he is, he says sternly "It is not appropriate to call this number" and hangs up before I can even apologize. If you read these things, Mr. Ament, I'm sorry. You made me feel like some sort of freak that day, like I did something horribly wrong. All I wanted to do was thank you for being such an inspiration and say that I enjoyed your work very much. I didn't get the chance. If you gave me half a chance, I would have gladly told you how I got the number on the internet without paying any special "search" service for the information, so you could block it for future purposes. Bottom line is that I didn't mean any harm. Thanks for making me feel weird and stupid, and not even offering an avenue where I -could- express my thanks (P.O. Box, agent's name, etc.) I originally wanted to say to you. I really have no desire to listen to your music anymore as a result of all this. Thanks for that, too:(

I feel close to Jeff, for listening to his music for 15 years, I feel like he is my friend. What is wrong with saying hello to a dear friend? A family member?

Jeff wasn't sure if he should hire security even after the atlanta incident. Now he's definitely doing it. Even if this is a joke, it's pretty pathetic. How bored can you really be?
