    You know what? Fuck it. I fucking feel like talking about YIELD again.

    If Braino was still around, he woulda had a great answer for that last question about connections between Ishmael and YIELD. His explanation of the "furry thing" line in Faithfull and how it relates to Ishmael was mind-blowing.

    I thought I explained it rather well. ;)

    We are a dying breed.

    We are indeed.

    And your answer was good....It's just that Braino's "furry thing" explanation is still one of my favorite highlights from the old thread.

    I'm trying to find it in my archive. I'll post it once I find it.

    I've been on a unofficial Pearl Jam-hiatus as of late...but last night, I heard In My Tree from Kitchener '05 and it reminded me of how much I love their live performances.

    The Jack-era songs are clearly the better ones.

    Hahahahaha.....I love it.

    Yeah, I've been on such a hiatus lately. But I was telling YIH today that I think it's coming back. I was talking about how much I actually kinda like Vitalogy, and it sparked something in me. Combine that with the abundance of music in the Gorge box set, and I feel a revival coming.

    If they could just harness the YIELD philosophies of 1998...I would be happy.

    When I post in this thread, I feel like Chris Farley at the end of that SNL Chippendales Dance Off Skit.

    "You see, it's just that, at Chippendales, our dancers have traditionally had that lean, muscular, healthy physique - like Adrian's - whereas yours is.. well, fat and flabby. [ Barney starts to vamp ] No, Barney. No, no, no. Barney, we've made our decision."

    I'm with you there, naturally. The whole dynamic of the band, fans, everything....was just perfect in 1998. It really was the perfect storm.

    This thread isn't the same without 6697, YIH, Fanch and Will.

    We will, however, leave a light on for you.

    I think I know what you mean by that. I think that's why it resonates so strongly with me. There are so many layers, so much depth, so much dichotomy (not just lyrically, but musically as well) that it seems like every time I listen to it, I discover something new or think about a song in a new way. It's completely exhilarating and no other PJ album quite does that to me.

    No Code is close to doing that for me. Again, it's in the complexity that I find meaning. This goes to what PBM was saying about the Jack era.

    No, things will never ever be the same as last summer. But I'm going to do my best to keep doing my part. It's all I can really do.

    Each new life cycle you enter, the songs take on different meaning.

    The songs in 1998 have a different meaning for me today in 2007. It really is about evolving.

    I'd really like to go back and revisit my thoughts just from a year ago. At the time, when I was yearning for change in my life, I really connected to the whole "give way" theme. But now that I have my new job and am starting to find some contentment, I'd be curious to see what "give way" means to me now.

    It seems at certain times, we all yearn for change and then become complacent. It's a cycle.

    What's funny is that there's really 2 ways of looking at that. The glass-half-full person says this means that things will always get better. The glass-half-empty person says this means that the good times are only temporary relief from life's constant kicks. Fascinating stuff. I love YIELD.

    I've always considered myself a "glass-half-full" kind of person...but the outlook you've brought forth is really more a reality.

    I was always "the glass needs more beer" kinda guy...I think this cuts to the core of Fanch's 'Low Light' theory.

    Teamwork. Rawk. Pwnage. Infinite Possibilities. YIELD. Hells yeah.
