How much is too much?

For me the music is like going to church. I'm able to take so much more away from it other than an institution thats organized. In my opinion there has never been a bad PJ song. Its all pieces of art that make for a grand masterpiece.

Amen to that my friend.

I LOVE this thread!!! I feel better about my "obsession" with Pearl Jam :] I'm not alone :,)

You took it out of my mouth:-)

First I thought I got crazy, maybe because I'm getting older or something... Then I thought, this is just a waste of time, I should do something more appropriate for a mother of 2 than listen to PJ and watch PJ for a few hours a day (or night).

But finally I came to the conclusion that this makes me a happy person! This is great to have a passion in life, still have this ability to dance to the music without reason, to feel such an excitement when a new song/album is released or wait for a year for an event (PJ concert).

And though my family and friend probably think I'm crazy, who cares? I want to be crazy and never become "normal" again.

Now, after joining TenClub, I have the feeling that I found my long lost family. Family of freaks, to be precise;)

I'm sorry for any mistakes, I'm not a native speaker.

My warm regards to all of you!

This is exactly what I said when I joined the forum a few weeks ago! Like I've found something I never even knew was missing since I joined!

I'm with you - mums don't listen to PJ on the daily do they?? HELL YES THEY DO!! Hehe

My wife thinks my PJ obsession is on par with my gambling and alcohol obsession! Ha, what does she know?

Yeah I wish my wife understood the attraction. When I listen to PJ it just makes me happy. I am to the point I only listen bootlegs, I think my truck could still play radio stations still but who has time to check. Awesome new truck can play flash drives.
She mostly just looks the other way until a few more posters show up...

I love this thread!
I too spend an inordinate amount of time Veddering - listening, watching & reading all things Ed & Pearl Jam.
It's been 24 years of love love love :-)))

It certainly does not like you are in the "Obsession" category by any means.

I am male and when I met my paramour 14 years ago, she was not a PJ fan at all. Now I believe she is almost (Not quite) the bigger fan! Especially of Eddie and the solo shows. She is becoming a bit obsessed. This is a good thing to me.

Keep on enjoying PJ. Have fun. I just turned 45 and feel like my interest in many things has subsided a lot, but with PJ only a tad bit.

This sounds like my story exactly :-/
