What's the connection between Olympic Platinum and Singles/Cameron Crowe?
Ok fellow PJ nerds... I did a search and couldn't find an answer to this one...
I was just taking a look at my Singles Deluxe vinyl... on the inside there's a nice letter from Cameron Crowe. In the background there are a bunch of tapes... and in the lower left it sure looks like it says "Pearl Jam - Olympic Plat".
What's the connection? I thought Olympic Platinum was fun thing the boys did in 95 or 96... but was it really recorded during the Singles timeframe?

The "sing like Whitney" line -- while clearly placing the song in the 1990s -- does not necessarily date it as being from '95 or '96 specifically. Whitney Houston's famous performance of "The Star Spangled Banner" occurred at Super Bowl XXV in January of 1991.

Atlanta was announced as the Olympic host on September 18, 1990 - so it was written after that!
I'm wondering if Cameron Crowe just has this awesome cache of PJ/Singles related tapes... and maybe the photo was taken post-95 and Olympic Platinum snuck in to the shoot.
