From photographer extrodinaire, Ross Halfin's online diary (dated January 24 2009):

Talking of banned I was going to shoot Pearl Jam for Mojo but the PR said it can't be me as 'There's too much baggage,' whatever that means.The last time I saw them was at the Manderin Oriental Hotel in London. I was supposed to have 45 minutes to shoot them. The PR at the time was Jackob from BMG. As I arrived Jackob looked at me with a worried look on his face. 'Can we do this more quickly?' 'How quickly?' I asked. 'You have 4 minutes.' I lost it at him and the American PR who worked for them who was standing behind Jackob directing him, acting as if I wasn't even standing in front of her, a real American bitch. Jackob was like a puppet, repeating exactly what she was saying. 'Fuck you all,' is all I could think of, 'treat people with some respect.' As this was going on Eddie Vedder came out the lift and I told him what I thought of his kind, caring and people friendly management. I got the time I needed only because of him. "Baggage" - give me a fucking break. Bands always will come back and be your friend if they want something.
