I was fortunate to hear CoT in Philly last year. It's an awesome song, and packs a lot of emotions for me. I'm interested in other opinions. What do you think this song is about?

A hooker/stripper.

Or at least Chloe Dancer is.. which leads you to believe COT is related

i think its about how he loves drinking and hates the way the drink makes him treat the woman he loves.


i used to treat you like a lady, now your my substitute teacher.

the bottle, something something something.


he who rides the pony must surely fall.


its a great song.

every time pj plays it i think they acknowledge that the death of andy wood let pearl jam come to being. without his O.D. there would be no pj. ive been lucky to see it twice and it is a very special song to see indeed. so emotional. i always wonder what jeff and stone are feeling when playing the song. they must have a lot running through their head, about their best friend, frontman to the band that they could have made it big with. its crazy to think about !!!

hope to see it at the gorge again this year!

^^ maybe,.. Jeff said relations were pretty strained in MLB anyway, they probably would've imploded.

but that line is "this bottle's not a pretty, not a pretty sight"
