Real talk: I have tried my absolute hardest to become emotionally connected to this song, but it just doesn't do it for me; there's nothing in it that resonates with the way I mourn. Ed and I are just different in that regard, I guess.

Good review, but is that lead-in Ed pic even from this decade?

Someone on Twitter said that apparently Bono was in the building and was going to sing Betterman with the guys but then left during the storm.

Great line: A friend who snagged a general-admission seat on the field was herded into the concourse area and forced to stand inside a densely packed multiheaded organism composed of sweat and dude for an extended period.

Think that's bs. He was in France the day before getting some honorary doctorate or other

It was a dedication, correct?

Yeah. And I hate to sound insensitive, but they have a lot better songs that they can dedicate to the deceased than Come Back. Light Years would have been soooooo much better.

I can't escape this song -- it seemingly follows me to every show. So now I take 2 piss breaks.

What, that Pearl Jam fans have a fascination with making up guests that were never there to start with? Just like at PJ20...

Yeah, but let's be honest, those Andrew Wood rumors died pretty quickly.

True. Once people started tweeting about that show he was playing up the road in Milwaukee backed by Dave A., Bruce Fairwether, and Flea we all realized Andy wasn't showing up.

Do we know if it was the honoree's favorite song or not?

The fan whose wife passed away REQUESTED Come Back. So you can stop sounding like a bunch of jerks now.

Meh. It's still a terrible song. And an even worse choice for a show at Wrigley Field with an impending weather delay after walking on stage 50 minutes late.

Did she come back?

That's all I know is that if my wife passed away and I requested that song to dedicate to her, she would haunt the shit out of me.
