Ok here is the story. I was talking w/my organic chem. tutor, today. We started talking about music and when I told him PJ was my favorite band he replied "I hate pearl jam, I can't stand that singer". I was startled by his remark. I honestly can say that I don't have as much respect for him anymore. I understand if people think they are ok. But not if you say you hate them. Can anyone relate. It's hard to explain.
This too shall pass.....

    that won't convert them into fans.

    Tie 'em up to a chair and blast PJ boots for hours and hours. :D

    100% Understand. Been through that before. Whenever ppl claim huge hate for them they get immediately written off my list and I just figure they must be complete idiots with horid music taste. Eff your dumb ass teacher. Its clear he's an idiot. Nice guy too...jesus...I love such and such band...OH SUCH AND SUCH BAND SUCKS.

    Peace ya dick. Thanks a lot.

    Ace that class just to show him how smart you are.

    At work, I'm known as a PJ fan.. okay, everyone I've ever met knows I'm a PJ fan.. But I don't play the music all that often. In fact, I am listening to PJ a lot less now than in years past.

    But if I turn on some PJ at work, everyone get's all uppity like I play it day in and out. That does kinda piss me off, because they can't even listen to a song without trying to bash it.

    Their loss, I guess.

    Dude...I go through this too. Everyone knows Im a big fan...But I never jam it down anyones throat EVER. I pretty much try and hide it unless the topic comes up and then of course I am Pearl Jamologist but...I feel your pain bro.

    If Im in the car and something comes on the radio I get ridiculed.

    My dad was like that... 'til he went with me to the EV Massey Hall show... needless to say, he now enjoys Eddie much more. Interestingly, at first he claimed to like Pearl Jam's music, but not Eddie's "whiney voice". He's gone a full 180, claiming to love Eddie Vedder's voice, but he doesn't think Pearl Jam does it for him. Go figure :)

    Some girl on myspace gave me her opinion about PJ. I used to have my page plastered with Pearl Jam pics and videos, along with some pics of my cats. She replied, "I don't like cats and I don't like Pearl Jam...I'm allergic to both." That ended that with her.

    plain and simple those people just DON'T GET IT! and i almost feel bad for those folks because it's soo much more than just a band...

    i have the stick man sticker of my car and a friend of mine the other day dropped me off at my house and was like "is that a cheerleader sticker on your car?"....right away off instinct i was all "a F*cking cheerleader? are you kidding?" then she said no so i said "oh it's a pearl jam sticker" to me it's not even worth trying to force PJ down peoples throats. you either get it or you don't and i am just glad that i get it...ya know?

    A friend once told me Disturbed is better than Pearl Jam, of course I didn't take that seriously.

    Tell him that's why he's a teacher. And not a very good one.

    If someone dissed PJ in front of me, I respect their opinion. But I still wish they die!

    maybe its good to be in the Uk.

    Non one I talk to have either heard of PJ or Eddie, so when i babble on about them constantly I just get blank expressions.
