Hey whats happening im new member on the forum so this is my first post. Ive been a huge pearl jam fan for a number of years and love the music and the band. With that out of the way theres one song that ive never quite been able to understand and that Stupid Mop. I was wondering if someone would be able to help me out.

Thanks.

    the last line of the song is : "do you would actually believe you could, kill yourself? -yes i believe...
    (or something like that)

    this relates to the death of kurt cobain, just like many other songs on the record;i think of last exit, spin the black, not for you, immortality.
    i hurt myself today,
    to see if i still feel,
    i focus all the pain,
    the only thing that´s real...

    I heard immortality wasn't about kurt cobain.

    and if those other ones were, there were only vague references to it then.

    STBC is about vinyl.
    But Stupid Mop is one hell of a song. Although Immortality would've been an awesome closer, the end was the only place this song fit.

    yeah, the end is where stupid mop belongs. the only part of the song I'm overly fond of is the end where he's like "do you think you would kill yourself?" "yes I think I would"

    awesome way to end a very dark album.

    immortality would have been a better closer so if they were gonna take stupid mop away from the end they could've just eliminated it altogether.
