    OK, I read the dude's orignal post (not the comments). What's wrong with what he said? Why isn't he allowed to feel that way?

    she feels overwhelmed with dumbass questions from friends and family, then start an 'anti dumbass question movement', not an anti ev movement

    I only read the first 4 pages... who knew ukuleleists could be so snobby? ;)

    I get what she's saying though. She had a ton of friends and family email her about Ed's album and she's tired of it. Oh well. Then don't listen to it. Ukulele purists! Bah!

    those people need to get a life...I mean, can you imagine sitting around on a computer all day posting on some message board about music that you love? Don't they have anything better to do?

    try being in high school, where I went maybe 1/8 of the guys would know him by name and no girls at all, maybe 1/10 of the girls would know of pearl jam but almost all of them would only know last kiss and even flow and only even flow because of gutair hero, it's sick I consider myslef a very lucky one amoung todays youth

    It COULD be bad. They could be Pearl Jam fans. Do you really want to see seven thousand Pearl Jam fans at ukulele functions? Really and truly? They don't shower enough.

    She's got a point. I shower 1-2 times a week as a devoted PJ fan. And what are these ukulele "functions" they speak of? Are they anything like concerts? Can I get a special gold-embossed invitation to see them in action?

    Ok, so I'm okay with the original post; girls gotta vent someplace but the no shower comment? Kid, maybe learn a bit about Pearl Jam before embarrassing yourself.
