    20 years? Wowsers.
    I got memories, I got shit and I still got the nice, thick bit of cardboard that kept the cd packaging all good.

    I can't believe it was 20 years ago. These two songs are so damn good studio and live.

    I play Merkin Ball every year on Christmas morning. I guess this year will be the 20th time.

    Sure went by fast.

    The best PJ EP to date. Period. Those two songs have such a profound meaning in my life today, just as they did on the day of it's release. Merkinball is Pearl Jam at their best.
    Happy 20th!

    Well, I could be wrong, but I believe Merkinball is an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era.
