    Neat!

    • Hardcover: 400 pages
    • Publisher: Bloomsbury Academic (October 1, 2020)

    There has never been a band like Pearl Jam. The Seattle quintet has recorded ten albums; sold 85 million records; played a thousand shows, in fifty countries; and had five different albums reach number one. But Pearl Jam's story is about much more than music. Through passion, integrity, and sheer force of will, they transcended several eras, and shaped the way a generation thought about music.

    Not for You: Pearl Jam and the Present Tense is the first full-length biography of America's preeminent band, from Ten to Let's Play Two. A study of their role in history--from Operation Desert Storm to the Dixie Chicks; "Jeremy" to Columbine; Kurt Cobain to Chris Cornell; Ticketmaster to Trump--Not for You describes the band's origins and evolution, over thirty years of culture. It starts with their founding, and the eruption of grunge, in 1991; continues through the golden age (Vs., Vitalogy, No Code, and Yield); their middle period (Binaural, Riot Act); and the more divisive recent catalog. Along the way, it considers the band's idealism, activism, and impact, from “Better Man” to Body of War and the West Memphis Three.

    More than the first critical study, Not for You is a letter to a famously obsessive fan base, in the spirit of Nick Hornby's Fever Pitch. It's an old-fashioned--if ambivalent--appreciation; a reflection on pleasure and guilt; and an essay on the nature of nostalgia, adolescence, and adulthood. Partly social history; partly autobiography; and entirely outspoken, discursive, and droll, Not for You follows Pearl Jam's odyssey, from the 1990s to the present.

    I know. I went to see the gallery show of these photos at Morrison Hotel in NYC. They were amazing. There were a few that I really wanted. But they were really only spectacular in the larger sizes. I almost bought one on impulse - it was over $1000. I decided to go home and think about it overnight. I ended up going online and buying the Lance Mercer book instead. Definitely not the same, but I am glad I didn't pull the trigger on the large photo. But if you want to spend the money, they are amazing.

    I would highly doubt its authorized or has a direct contribution from the 5 band members.  I'd still be interested in reading it if its halfway decent though.
