That was the tour where he made fun of that girl's boobs, right?

Wow. I don't think I've actually listened to that since around the time it happened. That's much worse than I remember.

He was pretty straight-up mean and aggressive towards some pretty easy targets fairly deep into Pearl Jam's career.
That's true. But anger is well-meaning. 8-)
Yeah, but anger towards Jewel in 2003 is perhaps getting a bit on the silly side.
:haha:

Singling out and berating an individual in a massive crowd for doing something as inconsequential (and ultimately pretty normal for a big ampitheatre show) as flashing her breasts is an unbelievably cruel thing to do.

I wonder if you guys would be willing to redo the track rankings in a couple of weeks, then show the previous one along with it just to see how perceptions have changed in that period of time.
