Song of the Moment: Sirens

[harmless]

It's getting hot in here.

So take off all your clothes.

[McParadigm]

I have nothing to add except I am not sure you can, by definition, be both a Pearl Jam fan AND a hipster.

don't we all try and date someone who we personally find very attractive at the time?

that doesn't make someone shallow

While Jill might have been a clothing model years ago, and while she's what some might consider traditionally gorgeous, she's not someone I find super attractive to me personally.

What does she even look like? I've never seen her.

Someone should make a "general Pearl Jam bitching" thread where all the ardent haters/defenders can go post. You will never convince anyone of anything on the internet and this thread is becoming worthless even by RM standards. Just let go.

I blame the song. Surely any thread about it could only descend into anger, mayhem, confusion and misogyny. Thanks a lot pearl jam.

Guys guys

This is a pretty stringy little line. I keep chewing, and all I'm getting is a tired jaw.

[BurtReynolds]

no need to hit on malice, she's not a model

This is why I gotta stop cruising RM for strange. Its not working nearly as well as I hoped.

A songwriter's personal life has no bearing on his music, guys. why would you even think that?

Why the actual fuck would a singer's sincerity be underminedquestioned by the fact his wife was traditionally beautiful?

for a lot of possible reasons. There's also a lot of reasons why it wouldn't.

I spit coffee the first time you did that

Like the kind of person who would be okay with spending the rest of their life on this sexface

[BurtReynolds]

Someone called her a supermodel. That annoys me. She's no supermodel. She hasn't earned that title yet!

Yea I agree... I can only pretend to be a hipster once I bring up Pearl Jam in conversation, while waiting for Dirty Projectors to go on stage...

OK, fair point. Ah I don't know, I'm just reacting to the insinuation that we're all mindless misogynist sheep supporting the enslavement of women just because we like a song and feel it relates to our own ugly selves in our own shitty little underpaid lives.

[Juvenal]

Jesus fuck - what happened here?

[Heathen]

You'd think stip, who's currently browsing this forum, would jump in and tell everyone to calm the fuck down like any good admin would do, but no, he's probably enjoying that shit.

I prefer the Eddie Vedder Projectors.

[McParadigm]

I think I actually like this song a little more now, because the sense memory of having experienced this thread is so connected to it in my different brain.
