    If this truly is authentic, it really is very sad and unfortunate.
    Unintended consequences are so difficult to anticipate.

    unfortunately for the band, I think if they could go back and change anything, one thing would be not releasing Jeremy as a single and making that video, I know how sensitive all the band members are, and this is the last thing they would of ever wanted
    This is a stupid post and by that I mean this entire post from the beginning. I don't buy it, writing on a typewriter 18 years after 1991, so 2009 and then talking about emails. Even my mother stopped typewriting sometime in the early 2000s and she has no clue what 'heavy rotation' means (at least in terms of an MTV Video :blush: ). Jeremy IS WHAT MADE PEARL JAM. Alive didn't, everyone loves it now but that single came out LONG before Jeremy. It might be more popular now but the majority of fans including those on this message board and myself found the band due to Jeremy. A kid of every name on earth has probably committed suicide. Maybe they should have called it 'Suicide Song'. Sure. Jeremy struck a chord to ALL of us in the early 90s who were confused and dealing with anything and everything. I love hearing it live and I sing LOUD anytime I hear it.
