BILLBOARD: You’ve been really involved with the art — album covers, posters, merchandise — from the beginning. Does it freak you out to see something you’ve drawn end up as a tattoo?
#JEFFAMENT: "I think more so in the early days, because I’d never witnessed that sort of thing. But where it freaked me out the most was at one point, somebody said, ”Hey, sign my leg!” And I signed it with a picture, covered his whole calf — next day, he showed up, and it was freakin’ tattooed. And that was the last time I ever wrote anything on anybody’s skin."

"The first time I mentioned Pearl Jam [as a band name] was when Ed, Stone, and I were watching Sonic Youth play with Crazy Horse.  In the middle of Crazy Horse I turned to Stone and said, "What about 'Pearl Jam'?" A couple of years later, the first time that we played [Neil Young’s] Bridge School [benefit], I saw Neil's big, black--must have been a '55 Chevy--and the license plate says PEARL 10.  I think I'm in a dream!  I asked Neil how long he'd had those plates, and he said 15 years."
