Young fans?
Pardon my n00b status, but I was curious if anyone had any idea if Pearl Jam was getting any newer, young fans coming into the fold. I'm mid-30s and have been listening to the band for years of course, but are "kids today" getting into quality music like PJ at all? I'd like to think the band's fanbase is still growing.

One more question, there is a lot of talk in the media about how the younger generation has ditched CDs in favor of downloads and digital media. Do you think PJ would get more of a younger crowd if they had a larger digital operation? I don't know what that would be exactly but I wonder if that is an essential part of today's music biz. Not overdoing it of course, but just something more substantial.
It's just kinda weird to think that the band and even myself are moving into what might be considered an "older crowd" and old media category.
hehehehehehe......:D
My 14 yr old nephew told me today that he likes Pearl Jam.
Huge smile on my face.

yea im 21 and just about everyone I know thats around my age or younger are into that music. When I got Eddie Vedder tickets I Had to ask 4 people before someone didnt say "Whos eddie vedder?" And when I say hes lead of PJ the only song they can think of PJ doing is last kiss. Its all MTV's fault in my mind.

yea most radio stations are junk but the local one in vancouver plays alot of good stuff (also some crap but they have too appeal to more than one genre) but still better than most, including at least a couple PJ songs while im at work

anyway, my little rant with some of the younger crowd. i hate when you're trying to tell them about pearl jam and they say - oh, that band that sounds like nickelback? then i'm like - NO! Pearl Jam came out in the 90's, what is wrong with you people?
You got to spend it all
i am just as huge a fan of anyone here. i eat sleep and breathe pearl jam (sadly)
pj, guitar and girls are all i need in this world
