The day draws near, the mission is clear, and we owe it to ourselves to rise up against the tyranny of oppression known as The Boston Area No Way Withholding. One must ask ones self why such an abomination has occurred in the Boston area for all of time. Is it not, my fellow compatriots, just in wondering why such a superfluous campaign of graphics, statements and acronyms should be, in this day and age, necessary to stand a fighting chance of hearing such a great song just once, one measly time, in this part of the country?
We are one, or by the very least I am myself, like you somehow. I stand united with you, and myself, and apparently mostly myself, in the hope of hearing a single song. In the face of such brutal determination to avoid de-tuning their guitars, the band thus given to playing a show a mere 7 days from now has left a void so unique, so compelling, so downright blatant that it makes one wonder why such a wondrous one song wonder from a wondrous album has been completely and utterly voided from the ink marks that stain the setlists on paper in the Boston area and has for 15 years.
The rising is now. If not now, when? If not then, why not? If not Worcester, then WHERE? Where I ask you, Pearl Jam (and I'm looking at you, Stone, in particular)? Is it not fair to say that in the 15 years since Yield, a most glorious mixture of rock, psychedelia and patience executed perfectly in album form, it is most peculiar that No Way has not appeared once in 14 shows? Is it not fair to point out that in 2003, 3 shows were played in Mansfield in which the entire catalog, without repeats, was planned and executed....with the glaring omission being No Way? (And Last Exit, but I digress). (And Yellow Ledbetter was repeated, but I digress).
I stand before you, by fellow Jamericans, a humble man setting aside his pride, and time, in the hopes that there was a small chance...an ever so slight chance (.1% is still a chance) that this thread has reached the upper levels of Pearl Jam's inner core. A thought so mind boggling that it's very possible it never happened. I stand before you as a massive fan with 17 years of Pearl Jam concerts in my own personal rear view mirror. 17 years and 37 shows. I've been lucky to see a lot of moments unfold in front of me and go down in the history of PJ lore as epic. Epic I say. Downright epic. I've sacrificed time and effort trying to come up with at least 1 graphic a day, sometimes several, to get my humble request across. I will continue to do so until D-Day. October 15. It's all I can do, unless someone has Stone's email address.
I don't ask for much in life: Food. Clothing. A safe home for my wife and children. Snow in the winter on the slopes. Grass in the Summer on the golf course. Maybe a little sushi, wine and a nice IPA. A few minutes a day to play guitar.
A humble man. With a humble plan. A simple request in troubling times.
I ask you, my fellow Jamericans: join me in my quest. Or ignore my quest. Or chime in and tell me to shut up. You may, and I will not. Our time is running out. The countdown is on. And all I have to say is:
Please play No Way in Worcester.
Thank you. Ed speed.
