    as I posted earlier I am 51, and been to over 30 shows...and the best part is that my two teenage sons have been to over 20 of those shows with me. Our mutual love for PJ sometimes exceeded our patience with each other during the teenage years. But we got through them, togeather, with some help from the band. We've really been able to bond over the years, traveling to Canada, west coast, east coast and place in between...

    I really feel lucky.

    and even though I love seeing PJ live, I usually go to 20-30 live shows a year. I have a pretty varied interest in music, and would rather do a live show then just about anything.

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of
    arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to
    slide in sideways, BBQ sandwich in one hand, cold beer in the other,
    body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "Woo Hoo what a
    ride"!

    Lets' try that again.
    I think this is right. I copied and pasted the first time instead of just hitting quote.

    40 and a die hard since Ten blew up.

    Previous post mentioned a cassette, I remember them well.

    Yield side A would end with Pilate and I would then have to hit FF so it could auto flip to DTE.

    My auto's CD changer currently has Yield, Vs., Vitalogy, Backspacer, Lost Dogs 1, Merkinball

    95% of the music I listen to is PJ.

    Nothing else compares.

    I Totally agree!!!!!!!!! NOTHING else compares!
