    - When you’re on a first date with a guy and the lead question is ‘Are you into PJ?’ Followed by ‘do you have a favorite album?’ His response is ‘I liked Ten.’ This being the only album he can name and none of the songs on it, sorry this just won’t work out. My response (in my head) ‘Can we not even be friends?’

    - When you are an aunt for the first time and you buy your new niece and nephew PJ baby gear to start them out right. And even playing PJ to them in the womb so they would come out with great musical taste. Also when their parents were decorating the baby’s room and wanted input, I said I have a nice looking PJ poster that would work above the crib. (That one got nixed but I’m hoping my future husband is ok with that one in our kids room someday).

    - When the first thing you think about when buying a new car is how your PJ decals are going to look with it. Forget the safety features. :)

    - When a friend tells you that your name (Megan) means pearl in Greek it makes you really happy and proud of your parents because they knew from the beginning how much of a fan you would be 25 years later.

    - When you get emails/text messages from multiple friends you don’t really keep in touch with very well and all they have to say is I heard PJ on the radio and I thought of you.
    The only things permanent in my life are my tattoo and Pearl Jam.

    Since I have first listened to Backspacer, whenever I wake up during the night I have a different song playing in my head. I am not even listening to the album that much (1-2 times a day tops :))
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    You catalog what was going on in your life by what PJ album was out and which song stuck out to ou most.

    - When 100% of whats on your iPod is PJ and you listen to it every night to go to sleep and wake up 3 hrs later with Even Flow blasting but you still don't turn it off.

    When you have to request and schedule vacation with work in February for the entire year. But you hold back one week just in case you might have to take some time off to travel to a show.

    ...before you make any decision, whether be it small or big, you ask yourself: "What would Eddie Vedder do?"
  • anothercloneanotherclone Posts: 1,688
    A local rock station does a charity event every winter. You can call and request any song. I mean like you'll hear Sinatra next to Metallica next to the Partridge Family. But you have to pay in order to make your request. But whatever it is, they'll play it.

    Last winter I blew $100 bucks requesting 4 PJ songs just to hear them on the radio. I even had them play Given To Fly as long as they played the version that would say "fuckers" in it (instead of the "clean" radio version).

    Why? I mean, I own everything and can listen to it whenever I want. But I paid $100 to hear it played on the radio.
