    I think any--any beach that's named in a Beach Boys song, in, in like 'Surfin' USA,' that should be a historical landmark, can't touch it. – Eddie Vedder Iconoclast

    In reference to making the MSG stage shake (something to the effect) :

    "...its like taking mushrooms, its feels weird but I kinda like it.."

    MSG 98, in response to all of the "Play Breath" signs:

    "You fucking cocksuckers! You fucking bitch! You know, we come up here as a collective band and we give and we give and you just fucking want more... and you know what? You deserve it! This is some kind of, like, organised religion here, I've never seen anything like it. Do you see what's happening? The third night in a row right? Well... fuck you! We're gonna play it!"

    Cue the first live playing of Breath since 1994!! A long quote but a classic!!

    Power to the people man…. The real people, the people that work, not the people that sit in their towers, and try to run the whole thing, thinking that we’re too stupid to notice what they’re doing! They get us in our little holes, and our boxes, and our cages and they show us American Idol and American Gladiators and American …. blowjob, buttfuck, whatever. And everyone watches with baited breath. Oh, who’s going to get a blowjob tonight? What American’s going to get a blowjob tonight? When in reality, you could be getting one yourself instead of watching the fucking TV, I don’t know. I digress. I’m going to get a guitar.

    soldier field 1995

    “There’s some fancy people in the skybox … they’re blinking to us, sending us a message up there.” The crowd boos and he tells them not to get angry: “… you know life has a way of working itself out, you know? Think about this for a sec, right? These are the rich, fancy people, right? They got all the luxury, right? Looks to me, like they’re the farthest ones away from the stage and they’re behind a fuckin’ window … you hang in the trenches long enough, it pays off …”

    Pointing to the suite boxes in the Alltell Arena--

    "Look, there's 3 guys masturbating to 'Three's Company'."

    (eddie pauses and laughter amongst audience)

    "Well...they suddenly stopped."

    (more laughter from audience)
