You probably recall reading an article a few years back with Aaron Paul talking about when he bought Ten... I don’t want to call someone a liar but does anyone else think we should call bullshit here?
Ten’ came out on the day of his 12th birthday, and was the first album he ever owned.
The actor saved up loose change in an old sock to pay for the album, he recalled, and headed down to his local record store to buy it for himself as a birthday treat.
“I came home with my new birthday gift I had just bought myself and I was beaming,” Paul wrote. “Could not wait to listen to it.
Really? The day it came out? What 12 year old had heard of Pearl Jam on the day Ten was released? I know he’s from Washington but still... was he going to Mookie Blaylock shows at age 11 and counting down the days until the album dropped?
I realised it was him because of the email address he used to sign up. We PMd a couple of times, he was pretty cool.
Regardless, I also stole the story from Ruddo.*
*everything you just read is bullshit.
