I want to apologize to the person I called stupid last night. After a few (14) beers I said something I absolutely and whole-heartedly meant, and still do, but should have been circumspect enough not to post publicly.
So I'm sorry
Good evening San Diego, I'm Ron Burgundy
And I'm Veronica Corningstone, Tits McGee is off tonight...
C'mon "all been done before"? If you're using that argument you really need to look at most of PJ's songs because they too have pretty much "all been done before"...
And that's not a knock against them, but just a silly argument.
Do you like any of their slow songs?
I love all of their slow songs less Come Back.

Hahaha. No apology necessary. Sometimes you just can't account for taste.
14 beers is a good start to the day. I watched the sun come up at the lake this morning with my Scotch in hand listening to the EV Berkeley boot. It was a cool night too -- very clear with several shooting stars.

I enjoy Come Back very much. I remember when the album first came out I was subbing at an all girls catholic high school and I was listening to the album and reading liner notes while the girls worked. I read them the lyrics to the song and played it for them and like 5 or 6 of them loved it and went and bought the album. It was a pretty cool thing. It was cool to see some of them discover music beyond Jessica Simpsion.
Anyway, I always like to think about lists and rankings and have always tried to come up with different ways to do it. When I first listened to Pearl Jam (album) I thought wow this is a great record, but it doesnt have a top 10 song on it. Come Back is closest. At the Washington show, I walked out thinking, wow they just played 4 of my top 5 in one night (sad, black, i got id, light years) and then I thought wait are those actually in my top 5? Ha. IT always changes. Here is my top 10 as of now...
10. Oceans
9. Last Exit
8. In Hiding
7. Nothingman
6. Release
5. I got ID
4. Footsteps
3. Light Years
2. Sad
1. Black (this never changes)
One of my favorites after 1st listen. Also thinking its about Eddie and Johnny Ramone's relationship makes it special. I love Mike and Ed collaborations.
Wow, I'm surprised at how many negative opinions there are of the song...I like to think I'm a fairly discriminating listener, but I just don't understand how anyone couldn't at least like it...that's interesting, I guess it just goes to show ya...

I'm just as shocked to see that so many people enjoy it. Like you said, it just goes to show ya ...

It's got great lyrics and ed's vocal delivery, coupled with McCready's lead work at the end, is absolutely stunning.
"I-eye-I, I'll be heeeere" .... If that doesn't make the hair on the back of your neck stand up, you must have no soul. Ed's just ripping his guts out on this song.
everybody wants the most they can possibly get
for the least they could possibly do
"WE'RE UH, WE'RE GONNA DO THIS ONE WHICH IS UH, CERTAINLY NOT A USUAL ONE, AND THEN UH, JUST TAKE A FEW MORE MINUTES, THEN UH, AND THEN WE'RE GONNA DO OUR BEST TO KEEP TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS AWAKE FR..." (cheering at intro)...

Yeesh. I think it's the lyrics that bug me more than anything. To me the words come across as pandering. It almost sounds like it was a song that was written explicitly for radio (which is obviously not the case since it wasn't released as a single). Again, it's just my opinion and it means absolutely nothing.

I was so excited when they played it at Mansfield 1...
Won't let the darkness swallow me.

you must be high. Or deaf. Or both.

Stunned. Stunned, I tell ya. One of the best things they've done in 17 years as a band and it'll go down as unappreciated genius.
And he who forgets, will be destined to remember...
