    Still kicking myself for not stopping by to ask what they were painting, I was walking by around 3pm after getting ice cream. Jeff was wearing a hat and respirator, of course I didn't recognize who it was. :confounded:

    Easy Street Records in the West Seattle Junction always has a bunch of murals for bands. Jeff Ament of Pearl Jam and Mother Love Bone spent a couple days making this happen. He actually painted it himself!

    Can some Seatlle-ite tell me if the famous "Mother Love Bone" tag is still up in Seatlle - the one in Singles etc.

    I hope they leave this as it is, forever! How long does a mural stay up @ Easy Street Records before this is painted over to make way for a new one?

    Looks amazing and very detailed. I may be able to get to Seattle later this year so hope it stays up for at least a few months so I can take picture in front of it.

    Does anyone know why he did this and why now? It's just kind of curious coming from someone who has openly said he's not into nostalgia and looking back. Granted, that was in reference to Pearl Jam, but still...

    when did he say that? Jeff keeps 'everything' that's how they have all the goodies to put into the box set-which I love by the way.

    True, not saying that he doesn't, I just thought that comment was attributed to him in some conversation about PJ25 or future reissues or something. I may be mistaken that it came from Jeff, and if I am, then my question is moot, but I'm pretty sure that sentiment at least came from someone in the band. I could've sworn it was Jeff, but if I can find a link or an interview, I'll post it here.

    Don't kick yourself over not stopping, it's not worth it.
