Why I'm quitting Pearl Jam
Posted: Mon April 27, 2020 9:50 pm
Recently my I ended a long relationship with Pearl Jam, and I’m relieved.
For over 30 years I devoted myself to listening to a band for which good music is irrelevant, because people can’t stop themselves from buying it. A band that never improves, that causes illness, and makes people unhappy. But there was money in it. A lot of money. In fact, my entire business depended on it. I knew it wasn’t good for me, but I couldn’t stop.
And then, when Pearl Jam released Gigaton, I realized, here was my chance to be someone who could sleep at night, because I know what I’m listening to doesn’t suck ass.
So as of today, lecherlouslittlestump will no longer listen to Pearl Jam. I know it’s going to be hard. If you’re interested in discussing Pearl Jam, here’s a list of forums that do it well: The Porch, Red Mosquito, r/PearlJam and Facebook.
As for me, I welcome all other bands because I'm certain that their best work is still ahead of them.
Sincerely,
lecherlouslittlestump
