NO "HATERS" here please -but I also realize that many of you just can't help yourselves.

I have NOT contributed to anything in a few months........again.no "haters" please.

Okay......so - today I'm substitute teaching today for a neighbor-friend of mine - a MUSIC teacher - whom has named all of the guitars - and plans to re-name one "Stone." Regardless - I agreed to "sub" as long as I wasn't expected to pound out a any classically trained piano pieces or anything. Thank God it was just training them on With THAT said -

The last 20 minutes of the class - I had to put on a video of "Bill Nye - The Science guy - whom is totally "green" in his way of thinking - which I 100%agree with. And low and behold - there was Soundgarden on there - - to show how sound is relevent. There was a young man in my "sub" classroom - doing an "internshio" in there with me.........and he knew whom Soundgarden is/was, as well. That just struck me as really cool. I was just sitting there - writing my "sub -teacher notes" - and it brought me back to the day - about `12 years ago - of which bands like Soundgarden, Nirvana, Alice In Chains, were so relevent and are still relevent. It made me happy and sad. Brought back so many good memories just the same. I didn't mention Pearl Jam prior - because Pearl Jam remains relevent. And it made me realize how important younger fans are. We may not always see "eye to eye" - politics, daily living, and such, However - Pearl Jam's music IS the one thing we have in common. That's at least a start. :)

    Anyway - I recognize what you said........and even REALLY young kids in Elementary School still LOVE him. Bill is trying to teach something -and they still show his vidoes in school. I like that Bill tries to compete with Ed Begely (sp) Jr. of whom has the "greener" home. I don't care if the espisodes are a year old. Green Technology IS coming. I think that's GREAT thing, Good for the planet, making it good for the abimals, making it good for me and you. You're here - and the Pearl Jam websight - that's cool, too! I"m not going to argue. :)

    Makes sense that Soundgarden would be on his show. Didn't Bill Nye get his break on a Seattle tv show?

    I saw him on something recently. I don't know what show it was but I'm pretty sure it was on Discovery or the Science Channel (no big surprise there).

    Bill Nye was on Almost Live a Seattle show of the early 90's....he also had a character named "Speed Walker"! At B'Shoot in 2007, I swear Bill Nye was in our hotel elevator. He had a small bucket with toothpaste, etc....When he got off the elevator, I yelled "Go Speedwalker!" and he flinched a little bit....

    But yeah, Bill Nye the Science guy is AWESOME!

    Although somewhat educational (BTW -I'm NOT mentally retarded) however this is just Yet ONE of the MANY Reasons reason I avoid this websight. Does Pearl Jam have an exclusive for the Adult followers. Although I appreciate younger PJ fans whom were introduced to PJ by their parents (like I personally was introduced to the Beatles) - I want to deal with PJ fans whom actually followed them. I thought I would give this one last try. I'm now over it.
