Pearl Jam Twenty

Resting under the Christmas Tree, packaged in brown paper and tied with string was a weighty package that I could not wait to rip apart and devour.  I just knew that it would be Pearl Jam Twenty.  What else could it be?  Turns out it was The Encyclopedia of House Plants * yawn *

Never mind . . . PJ20 was tucked away until Christmas morning when a bright red package was placed unceremoniously upon my lap - That's what I'm talking about!

Now to the book . . .


Do you recall times during your childhood when a summer's day stretched out before you and your only responsibility was to BE . . .


I had just one such day on Boxing Day, 2011.  Sitting on my verandah, looking out over the city, I began reading Pearl Jam Twenty.  I had Water on the Road playing in the background and I occasionally strolled inside to top-up with Chandon.


Hours went by as I immersed myself within the covers!


It was a day of pure pleasure for pleasure's sake :-)


I would recommend this lovely tome to those who adore Pearl Jam and are interested in various formats of Rock Biographies.  I found that it was particularly handy and indeed delightful to have my PJ discography to hand and youtube nearby.  As a result, I've now heard stuff that I never knew existed!
