for I have come to the realization that Pearl Jam is probably breaking up.
I’m sorry, I know it’s a bad idea to get all wrapped up in a band because these things happen. I know it’s pretty ridiculous to be as sad as I am, but it just seems like this is the end of the music world as I know it.
Pearl Jam was the last band who cared about their fans. They fought Ticketmaster. They released not one, but 73 albums in the past year, plus a DVD. They were the last band that cared about us, the people, the ones who buy their records and request their songs on the radio and hold up lighters during “Yellow Ledbetter.” And now they are gone.
I try not to be too upset, because I do realize that people grow and change and don’t want to be stuck in the same band they were in ten years ago. And with the circumstances of the fans being killed in Denmark at a show, I hold nothing against them leaving. But I’m still sad about it. I still don’t want them to go.
Okay, I’m being a whiny little bitch not wanting a band to break up. I just feel I should mourn the passing of the last great band. For me, there was something reassuring about PJ, and now it’s over. It’s like the world is a totally different place. So how do I get beyond the loss of a band I love?
Thanks for listening.
