    I am the only one?
    Who remembers a band that stood for something?
    Not only was the music THE BEST, but the ideals matched
    Did I spend $500 for 4 tickets to 2 shows & will I also spend a couple thousand dollars to travel & stay in Europe to see them...YES
    But must I also pay $40 for a fucking T-shirt?!
    They used to care, & that REALLY meant something to me
    & as WILDLY STOKED as I am to see them & hoping for greatness...I'd be lying if I didn't say they've turned into everything else....oh, except for still making records? Signed one of your VERY biggest fans
    Remembers a band that stood for something?  

    Pearl Jam concerts at Safeco Field raise $11 million to fight homelessness in Seattle

    They don't just stand for something -- they actually DO something about it.

    40 dollars for a shirt does suck. But a crunchy taco at Taco Bell is like 1.59 now. When I was a teenager they were .39. You could buy a ten pack for 4 bucks. That was the 90’s when this band you speak of stood for something. Everything is expensive anymore. Maybe they should be more like the Eagles or the Stones and charge a minimum of 250 per ticket for the worst seats. Inflation sucks. Pearl Jam does not. 
    Yep, minimum wage when PJ played Soldier Field was  $4.25, now it’s tripled to $12. Tickets were $50 and now they’ve tripled to $140, hmmm. Still pissed about Taco Bell tacos but atleast the 10 packs are back!

    I'm old enough to remember when a dime bag cost a dime.

    $10 was a total rip off...I was pissed to pay it....but i did over and over and over...
