Black, by Pearl Jam.
Kinda feel like I’ve already exposed myself as a person who was a big Pearl Jam fan in high school, but the truth is I didn’t make it beyond the second record (which had two or three great songs on it). I managed to see them play live twice; once at Lollapalooza just 30 or so hours before Hurricane Andrew, and the second time at an amphitheater just adjacent to that park. The second show was very very early days in their boycott of Ticketmaster, and it was a small space with not enough supply of seats to meet demand. Some folks showed up without tickets, tore down the weak chain link fence they had put up around the area, and made their way to the show.
I’ll let you draw your own conclusions about which side of the fence I was on that night. 😉
This song isn’t my favorite off Ten, but at least it’s one where the lyrics don’t immediately make me uncomfortable knowing how comfortable I was with them at age 16 or 17.
Added some appropriate guitar bits and called it a night.
