Call it holistic or holographic thinking, it's been quite effective imagining the world's problems are all right in front of you on a smaller scale with your band. You deal with those relationships, and that's where real major change begins.

We may take breaks and do other things, but we feel we'll ultimately have Pearl Jam as a family.

I liked the banana-seat bikes with the high handlebars - maybe a card in the wheel could have been part of it.

A lot of fun stuff happens when you go out on a bike compared to when you're in a car. You're more in the environment. It's enjoyable. Even when It's raining It's still fun.

I like to play music. I like projects. I like excuses to hang out with my friends and play music.

I'm in a rock band - I don't have a day job! I am spoiled... a lot.

Right, those relationships with your parents and family are the hardest to figure out, and the same patterns get carried into a band situation.
