    I'm too stupid to post links, but if you Google "Pearl Jam NPR", there is a great Morning Edition on the issue of utilizing the standard methods of putting on a tour. The problem is - the band has canceled whole tours before when this approach was taken. Won't happen this time.

    Starting to feel some pressure/angst myself here. C'mon...

    Any clue when you might be able to say something or is it still going to be "everyone can find out at the same time"?

    No, you aren't the only one. I have people say to me that PJ is a good grunge band and I get annoyed and say they aren't a grunge band. They are a rock band and one of the best ever.

    I thought Neil Young was "The Godfather of Grunge". Besides, no matter how you classify PJ's music, there were many "grunge" bands floating around Seattle long before PJ including Green River.
