For the record I dont give a penguins butt if its a corporate event or whatever - They are just turning really lame in their venue and tour and show choices. Nothing cool about any of it int he past 6 years.

It's funny, the other night a friend I were having a few beers and we were discussing how much money the band pissed away in the mid 90's with there ticketmaster fight and missing out on touring and deals. I am not surprised by what has gone on. People are gonna yell and say "fucking sellouts. But ya know what, these guys are close to 50, they only got so much time left, there CFO stole money. Gotta maximize profits now.

I'm not yelling sell out. It doesn't change my enjoyment of the music. It's just really lame. Pearl Jam used to be a band you could get behind for more than just the songs. Now they're just like everyone else.

Which would all be fine and good if they didn't still crow about their "own terms" and such

Funny enough - about 2 weeks ago i found a card in my wallet from a Sarah who worked at Oracle in Denver. Interesting. I dont remember who gave it to me or why.
i guess is one of those " hey this is the the indie apple" sort of thing. I really don´t care were they play, as long as they are playing...the sellouts thing is stupid.
