    How does the connection from more merch=less time for new music happen? The band and the 10C create different products on different timelines. I seriously doubt anything but a quick visual OK on designs was done by the band (or just Jeff) at some point. Merch isn't album art and stage concept, it's a design bought from an artist (possibly years earlier) then turned into a sticker, shirt, cap, patch, etc. by the 10C peeps.
    I say bring on more of everything....more music, more merch!

    See... I always pictured the guys from the band printing tee shirts and coloring in posters between albums and shows.

    My point was that Pearl Jam is supposed to be about music, not merch. For a good chunk of time from mid 2010 until fall 2013 it felt like the opposite. I have no problem with new merch during a touring or record cycle. If Pearl Jam is on a break, I and the people I know that are Pearl Jam fans, are not terribly interested in No Code dog collars or a spring or fall line of clothing. In my opinion that feels like milking it.

    I don't know, but perhaps it's about 'keeping the fans interested' even when 4 or 5 years go by without a new album. Kind of like dangling a carrot in front of a donkey. :))

    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    Now did you try on all three patches-- I mean a stitch in place and look in a mirror BEFORE you bought them? I mean, you have to try EVERYTHING on, right? Oh, then you have to ask your friends if it looks right. Man, I believe you did the patch purchasing all wrong. ;)
