    Hilarious!! The "Puberty Love" thing is too funny.. please post if you find it, I would love to hear that.

    I thought the same thing about the podium king... Uh, Hello... what about REM.

    And how did I forget that Mike did all the guitar solos in Almost Famous??

    Fun stuff.

    thanks for sharing

    EDIT: In terms of #4 about Betterman, I thought Stone wrote the song. EV references this in MSGI 03 and East Rutherford I 06, I believe.

    Or was he just referencing w/o Jeff and Stone, they wouldn't get to play the song, not because Stone did/did not write the song?

    u think his name as "Jerome" in his ex-wife's band shares any intricate similarities with "Jeremy" aka Jer-o-me (pronounced Jeremy) or am I looking into this too much.
    Coincidence?

    Ed song. I've only heard the Live at the Garden quote but what he says is (paraphrasing) if it weren't for Jeff and Stone (creating the band) Ed would have ended up playing that song in venues that smelled like piss. Or some such.

    Ed wrote Betterman when he was like 16 years old. First played it with Bad Radio (the terrible band he was in pre-Pearl Jam).

    What Ed meant at MSG in '03 was that without Stone and Jeff founding Pearl Jam, he wouldn't get to play it at a place like Madison Square Garden ... He'd be stuck playing in places that "smelled like piss."

    To those wondering about "Ishmael" - read it. It's good. And not just for insight into the development of Yield, but just in general it is a very deep and thoughtful book. All of Quinn's writings are pretty good.

    Selin, what's goin on?

    LOL @ Puberty Love... thanks for the link, I forgot some of those factoids.

    We need a weird factoid sheet. Someone should dig 'em all up and list them like they did. I was just reading an old Rumor Pit the other day and thought the same thing then too...

    Anyway.. good post!
