Pearl Jam: Last News

Eddie Vedder has said that taking his daughter to a Taylor Swift show reminded him of being with “the misfits” at punk rock shows as a kid.The Pearl Jam frontman said that he was struck by passion and inclusivity of the Swifties when he accompanied one of his daughters to the show, and compared it with the community in which he grew up.In an interview with Mojo, Vedder recalled the “galvanising and powerful” energy that united the audience, and spoke about “the run-up to it, making friendship bracelets with her and the generosity of these young girls and boys, trading these bracelets with different messages on them – lyrics, song titles, just acts of good will on these little bracelets.”Vedder was born in Illinois, and spent his teenage years between San Diego and Chicago, where he became strongly attached to the respective local punk scenes, joining the bands Surf and Destroy, Indian Style and Bad Radio. As he explained, he can see similarities to those days in Swiftie culture.“They had found their tribe, they were all agreeing on something,” he said.

Seriously perusing the lineup can easily amount to a full day’s work, if you’re the kind of omnivore who’s prone to clicking on each alphabetically arranged title to look for content, vinyl colors (black being much more the exception than the rule these days) and — the most trepidatiously approached information of all — how many or how few copies were pressed.
