I'm listening... 

It didn't hold my interest all that much.  well first thing is I love how every writer talks about how PJ is the only band from the 90s Seattle left and they have endured for over 30 years...then mostly ignores everything after Yield.    The author admits he didn't listen to PJ for 12 years and basically just glosses over post Yield songs.  Even the songs he talks about I found a bit condescending talk about them.   Like snubbing his nose that 90s Ed essentially wrote a wedding song in the 2000s.  oh the horror.   Why not delve more into why they are still around and how and why they became a must see live act.   The 2000s have played a role in their legacy as well. It's just the 90s. I also didn't need to have multiple pages on Bill Clinton's policies and Bradley Cooper's A Star is Born.  yea yea yea he hung with Ed and looked like him in the movie. no shit.
