    I have been away from the forums for a while, so I apologize in advance for my confusion. But what does one do for people to think they *deserve* a song request to the band? What's the story behind Ghost?

    Did Dimi know someone that sadly passed and this was their favorite song? Did he get married and this is his bride's favorite song? Did he cure cancer?

    I don't know anything about any of that. All I know is this is one man's simple wish. A wish I have had for many years now. A simple request to stop playing this weak song. And I demand that the band honor my wish...IMMEDIATELY.

    NO MORE GHOST! NO MORE!!

    Doesn't hurt to ask. People do it all the time.

    It has nothing to do with being a farm animal. I'm positive that song means something special to many out there. It would be a shame for them to retire it or any other song because some people can't stand to listen to it at a concert...oh the horror!

    On this, the 13th anniversary of one of this great band's most awful songs, I hereby call for them to retire Ghost from all future shows immediately.

    Give the people what they want, Pearl Jam---- NO MORE GHOST! NO MORE GHOST!

    Who's with me?!?!


    Thank you.

    You're lucky Dimi is in South America, otherwise he'd hunt you down!

    I apologize if anything I've said upset the cult. But I'm allowed to have an opinion last I checked.
