Just a Moment.......Please

Saturday evening JB and I headed up to the pool red wine in hand.
We were already prepared for the neighbors obnoxious party tunes, another big blow out in his mansion on the lake.
This time instead of having a battle of the tunes contest with our stereo blasting back we had an Ipod with the little portable speakers hoping to drown out just enough.
The neighbor thinks himself a DJ with the microphone and all. He's havin' fun, whatever.
So all is good.
JB's select tunes, a little smoke, wine, fireflies, doggies being extra cute, a little hide and seek with the chew bones. Fun. Lucy decides to lay on the diving board to have her chew bone, that's cute. She takes up the whole board, where's the camera when you need it?
Then......
I look down at the Ipod :? and say 'Hey turn it down, that's Pearl Jam!'
Sure enough, Just Breathe is playing at the neighbors.
Pearl Jam made it to the party! Pearl Jam is in the neighborhood! on the block! OMG!
It was a moment for sure. Nothin I ever expected.
We listen and comment, 'wonder if Eddie would be pleased hmmmm?'
So we enjoy, it ends and my husband and I pause, look at each other wondering what's the next tune up, should we just listen to his stuff?
On comes
"You spin my head right round, right round
When you go down, when you go down down
You spin my head right round, right round
When you go down, when you go down down"
Alrighty then....
Well that was more than a good laugh as we added don't think Eddie would be pleased, not pleased at all!
That was our moment

The magic that is Pearl Jam...

I get ridiculously silly when I hear someone I don't know playing Pearl Jam.0 -
Nice picture you painted there, Pandora! What a lovely evening...
I posted this elsewhere, but I was writing on the boards last week and suddenly heard PJ blaring from right outside the windows on the side of the house. Ran to the nearest window and found the neighbor's son sitting in the car in their driveway (right next to ours) listing to "Release."
New neighbors suddenly went way up in my estimation _ although admittedly I liked them before this.
For a second, just a second, I thought, "Hey, Eddie and the boys are in my driveway!"15 years of sharks 06/30/08 (MA), 05/17/10 (Boston), 09/03/11 (Alpine Valley), 09/04/11 (Alpine Valley), 09/30/12 (Missoula), 07/19/13 (Wrigley), 10/15/13 (Worcester), 10/16/13 (Worcester), 10/25/13 (Hartford), 12/4/13 (Vancouver), 12/6/13 (Seattle), 6/26/14 (Berlin), 6/28/14 (Stockholm), 10/16/14 (Detroit)0 -
Nice.
Not what you would usually expect to hear at a party in Clayton County!"Then the Spirit of God hovered over the water, and God said, Let there be music, and there was Pearl Jam."
Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?0 -
At the very least, not all hope is lost for your neighbor!! Hehe
We have tvs at our stations at work, and the two weeks before the 'Deadliest Catch' premier, 'rise' would play and I would have to stop, move closer so I could hear better and close my eyes and enjoy that serene moment... My clients would look at me like I was nuts. I said 'but its Eddie!'... They didn't understand.
I have thought about making a best of compilation cd and have like 50 of them and hand them out to my clients so they could have a taste... But that maybe a but too much for them. Lol! Gotta do my part to better this world, right?!0 -
