Pearl Jam of the Week

Editor's note: As mentioned, Harry will be bringing you one pearl jam song a week leading up to their live performance at Wrigley Field. Baseball season and Pearl Jam are two things that just make sense together. I asked Harry if he wanted to help out and do this and he was more than enthusiastic to hop on board. With that being said, I know this is going to be a great excerpt each week. Let's get groovy. 



As you all know, I really love Pearl Jam. I have a calendar at my desk, in which I have been counting down the days till they play at my building of worship (Wrigley Field) in August. With this countdown in mind, I'm going to be giving you guys some deep tracks that I love, from the band that I love.

As you know, Eddie Vedder grew up in Evanston. Not only is he homegrown, but he's also a huge Chicago sports fan. This song was written about what transcribed to be all the rage in the 90's for Chicago sports. I'm referring to of course, the dominance of the Chicago Bulls. This song is a great head rocker. See if you can guess who the voice is around 2:15. This was a drunken message left on Eddie's answering machine. Happy Rockin'!
