    The Rolling Stones named themselves after Stone Gossard's "Alive" riff. (It involved a time machine -- first tested out by Stone Gossard, of course, "Back to the Future" was loosely based on Stone Gossard's true story, but that's another tale.)

    Stone Mountain was originally supposed to be Georgia's tribute to Stone Gossard a la Mt. Rushmore ... but the artist didn't think he could do Stone Gossard justice and quit, so it's just a mountain with a cool name.

    ... We all know Stoney is The Man. So here they are, the TOP 25 REASONS WHY I LOVE STONE GOSSARD:

    1. He has the coolest name ever.
    2. He can change his looks dramatically over the years and still be a total hottie.
    3. He kept a toy cow on his amp.
    4. Two words: alternate tunings!
    5. He's a "funny city rock guy with a Marshall." /images/wink.gif
    6. Brad rocks!
    7. He's a Seattle lifer.
    8. Loosegroove!
    9. He's a member of JAMPAC.
    10. He makes it cool to be a dork.
    11. He's absolutely fuckin' hysterical in interviews.
    12. By that same token, he's very articulate, which is refreshing in the world of rock.
    13. He met Chewy.
    14. Nobody should look that good in plaid pants.
    15. He has better pecs than you'd think he would (See the "Oceans" video for evidence).
    16. He played peacemaker whenever Jeff would fight with Mark Arm and Greg Gilmore in Green River and Mother Love Bone, respectively.
    17. He's written the music to tons of amazing tunes.
    18. Seven reasons in one: "Mankind", "Of The Girl", "Thin Air", "Rival", "All Those Yesterdays", "No Way", and "Strangest Tribe."
    19. He sings lead on "Mankind" and totally kicks ass in doing so, especially live.
    20. He was in "Singles."
    21. His left-brain tendencies balance Jeff's right-brain tendencies, and Stone STILL is creative as hell.
    22. He has a twin sis named Star.
    23. Rhythm guitarists don't get enough credit to begin with, and he is the best of the bunch.
    24. He founded the greatest band in the world!!!
    25. Paige loves him.
