When you still long for the days when Vs. was new and you and your best friend would sit on the school bus, split-apart headphones from the walkman so that each of you could listen on the way to school...
You let out a certain amount of "healthy" enjoyment of the band, but you hold back enough from friends, family, co-workers and even your husband, lest they think you are totally crazy.

When a Pearl Jam song comes on the jukebox in a crowded bar, all your friends think that's your song
When acquaintances tell you all Pearl Jam related news they come across
When all your friends who generally listen to Beyonce attempt to listen to some Pearl Jam (and actually end up liking a few songs)
When you name your wireless network Eddie Vedder
When you know exactly what song you want the band to open and close with
When you get anxious about whether the almost improbable October US tour is going to coincide with the family trip you already bought tickets for (and how you're going to tell your family you're going to ditch them when the announcement comes out)
When you Tweet or update your Facebook status more during the course of a PJ show (only before and after the set or between songs, of course!) than you do the rest of the year combined...
When there are people from five or even ten years ago that you only hear from when they text you to say "I just heard [insert name of PJ song] on the radio and thought of you."
"We're all just visiting, all just breaking like waves..."
news of a show or two in Toronto
forces you to go and get a passport
for the first time in your 45 years.
