This is like pulling teeth. I'm NOT JUDGING THEM!!!!!! is that loud enough? I had heard mike had college degree or credit.....was just wondering which members had degrees and if so, in what field?! My god.......

Maybe we are just biased because of the ridiculous thread you started earlier about the band being rude because they made fun of the president among other things, and how you get banned for being rude but the band can get away with it....

I thought I read that Eddie went back and got his GED (not easy to do once you get out of the habit of studying and what not). I also think Jeff took some classes at a Univ. in Montana before his move to Seattle (but not sure)

Eddie seemed like he read a lot (probably still does) and often used to quote authors in his interviews. I found about Howard Zinn while reading an old Eddie interview. So I guess he taught me something

They always preach about education...which members have college degrees? Master degrees? etc.

You don't have to have a degree to be educated. A degree is just a peice of paper saying you completed the required courses.

One thing I know they are educated in and that is music.

although he started an ignorant thread before, he is just asking a simple question. here maybe if i ask

hey everyone i just wanted to know if anyone in PJ has some sort of degree?

its a simple question, if anyone knows it just answer.

thank you keiran....ya, I heard Jeff was enrolled in college even in the early years oj PJ. I was just curious as to what field they got into etc. Ed has always used high level similes, metaphors, quotes, etc. I was wondering if he had a degree in english/philosophy etc. Plus, I wonderif any of them plan to go back to school? Or are they done?

"hey everyone i just wanted to know if anyone in PJ has some sort of degree?"
is not what he said though... I might be flaming him when he had no ill intentions with his post... but his post didnt sound like he was just asking a question.... but that's just my opinon which counts as much as his does..

"Rats"

they don't eat, don't sleep
they don't feed, they don't seethe
bare their gums when they moan and squeak
lick the dirt off a larger one's feet
they don't push, don't crowd
congregate until they're much too loud
fuck to procreate till they are dead
drink the blood of their so called best friend
they don't scurry when something bigger comes their way
don't pack themselves together and run as one
don't shit where they're not supposed to
don't take what's not theirs, they don't compare
they don't scam, don't fight
don't oppress an equals given rights
starve the poor so they can be well fed
line their holes with the dead ones bread
they don't scurry when something bigger comes their way
don't pack themselves together and run as one
don't shit where they're not supposed to
don't take what's not theirs, they don't compare...
they don't scurry when something bigger comes their way

Jeff went to college for a year or two, majoring in the arts

I think Ed dropped out of high school, and I think Stone had a degree

Dude what the fuck is your problem? The thread title may throw you off but reading his post shouldn't. Maybe YOU should educate yourself and not throw assumptions out of no where.

i don't have a problem, the post was meant to be inflammatory. the title was actually interesting, i opened it up thinking i would learn something new but the post was worded all wrong, in a way that would suggest that he was waiting on someone to say that Pearl Jam didn't have an education beyond high school and then he would start in on some sort of tirade about them beimg hypocrites.

but that's just how i saw it. and i'm usually right about these things.

if you are talking about degrees only...i THINK only stone may have a bachelors...possibly jeff. i know stone did go to college, but unsure if he followed through, if pearl jam took off before that could happen. i mean, they were all pretty young when it got started, bit difficult to persue higher education AND create a great rock band. i believe ed has been very clear that he didn't even graduate HS? everyone else i am pretty sure did, but yes...more than likely, no higher ed degrees. who had time?


in regards to being truly *educated* though....i think as band they are all pretty well read/learned, and a lot more *educated* than many i know of with plenty of degrees. as many have said, education comes in many forms.

We must be crazy or over sensitive then because I took it the same way, specially after his rant about him getting banned for being rude and the double standard about it because the band is rude as well...so as I said it must just be you and me who took it that way but I think he started this thread with one intention and ended up changing his tune later when he got flammed... IMO of course.

obviously you were wrong about this

after he/she stated in their first post, as well as their second, third, fourth, and so on that he was wondering about their actual education, it is clear to say that he didn't mean it in the way you interpreted it
