    I give empathy for people losing loved ones, getting laid off or getting stationed in Iraq. Not someone in Alabama who didn't get to see Pearl Jam for the 5th time.

    Who the hell would compare not being able to see Pearl Jam to having a loved one die or having to go to Iraq. That is just ridiculous.

    What happened to shows in Bristow, VA, Virginia Beach, VA, and Raleigh, NC. I thought I would have been able to see them in one of these places. My daughter was born hours after the 5.30.06 show in DC so I had to miss that show. I did not get to go to any of the shows in 2006. Maybe they will tour in 2007.


    gesh, seems like they haven't been to va beach in ages. i always guessed they stopped coming there because their venues were too small. like they've gotten too big for their britches and just INSIST playing in stadiums now.

    congrads on your new baby girl!

    Ok, seeing these threads pulled together has given me a shot of hope. But I am still not begging. It's a pride thing. I wish they would play the South, that is my new saying.

    Well, it was more of a light-hearted joke...I'm not actually begging. :p

    Goodnight.

    HEY! I shouldn't laugh - This year I got my AARP invitation the same day I got my 10c Christmas record! Blew my mind.


    Oh my goodness! I've been getting AARP invitations since I turned 25! (and I'm not that near to 50 yet!) I get mail from "Hover-round" (sp?) all the time, and invitations to Medicare conferences. I even get messages on my answering machine that say something like... "We understand that certain members of your household are approaching retirement...". I don't know how to make it stop! Talk about feeling old before your time! Maybe PJ can rejuvenate me... by playing the south! :)

    I've ony ever gotten one (last spring) - which I igonred and have never gotten anything else. Got rid of my telephone landline a few years ago so have avoided all those pesky sales calls...Great to be under the radar.

    PJ is the great equalizer (at least fom my perspective) - our passion for their music is ageless.

    Good morning and it should be a good day of football.
    I just listened to Even Flow for the first time in a couple of months. What a great song! Cranked it up real loud and it got the heart pumping.
