1. It was written during a time when Vedder had that increasing stalker problem so he wouldn't go home, he would hang around with Matt Lukin of Mudhoney. The reason the lyrics are so incomprehensible and the music is so quick and punky is because Matt Lukin gave Vedder shit for having too many long songs - therefore Vedder made a sub-one minute track about it. Pretty neat, huh?
  2. Haha that's cool indeed, great story. Thanks for that

    The energy in the building was off the charts. I'm glad it comes through on the boot

    Matt dropped his drum stick during MYM , I specifically remember that happening lol, and he still never looses time.

    I had tears in my eyes. It could've ended after those 3 and it would of been worth the drive.

  7. Yeah. I'm almost sorry to ruin the "mystique" of your original post. I think if I was there I would have tried to disprove it.

    I had a typo in my original message. It should have read: I think if I was there I would NOT have tried to disprove it
