    Last request:

    Please don't e-mail my professor, either.

    After each of our guest speakers comes and goes a short story on their speech usually appears on the business school Web site.

    I will come back and post the link as soon as I see it.

    What a weird day.

    It's ridiculous that you even have to post this.

    I'm not blaming you for posting it, by the way (just in case that's not clear).
    Do you remember Rock & Roll Radio?

    People calling and emailing the professor has to be the most pathetic thing I have ever read/seen on this board... :rolleyes:

    Nice story.... you can't make that shit up... geezus :)

    "- He talked about the band’s official bootlegs and told a funny story about being in a record store in New York years ago before MP3s were around and REAL BOOTLEGED COPIES of their shows were being sold for $30 or $40. He said there were three rows of Pearl Jam bootlegs and Mike McCready grabbed a copy of each one, walked up to the cash register and said something to the effect of, “I’m in this band. You are selling these illegally and I’m taking them and there’s nothing you can do about it.” Everyone in our class laughed, and I don’t know how much of that story is true, and how much of it is a joke or whether Mike really walked out with them."'

    no matter who it was.. too funny!! I can picture that happening.. and Mike doing it.

    Dude that is so bad ass! Did he sign stuff for everyone (may be a 300 seat class room I don't know.)
    Reminds me of when Don Henley came to my college at University of North Texas back in 2005 for some Environmental awareness siminar and he was the speaker. He graduated from their music program and the mascot is the Eagles. (I have no idea if that has any coincidence with the band name?? I'd guess probably. I was unable to get a ticket (they were free) but the student union sold out will quick. People were raving about after words.

    I know it's off topic, but your story just reminded me of this one and how musicians come back to support where they went to school.

    That is so awesome to finally get some of Jeff's views of the band and how they do things. :D
    Thank you for sharing.

    screw all of the disbelievers, I believe your story, only because If you took all of that time to tell that story to us, you are probably the biggest loser on the planet. Good shit though, honestly I actually enjoyed reading it. (even if it is bullshit!) haha

    Awesome story Evil B!

    What was your initial reaction when you saw Jeff standing in front of the classroom?

    It must have felt so surreal. Great job on keeping notes from the lecture...I didn't want the stories to end.

    See you at Bonnaroo!

    I'm so glad this was proven to be true :) Fantastic story

    To the obsessed people who contacted his teacher, googled the class name, and participated in some of the most pathetic actions I have ever seen on this board...head over to the Good Charlotte board and please don't come back. You guys should be ashamed.

    Great Post. I know a kid going to school up there, in the graphic arts program.

    The biggest problem around this post it note is all of the Fannier than thou DOUCHEBAGS that think they know exactly when and where every member of the band is and what type of toilet paper they are using when these silly FUCKs should really pull thier own heads out of thier own ASSES and realize they are indeed SUPERIOR in their Fucked up sense of importance. Thanks for listening, flame away, I can read whatever you have to post.
