I really hadn’t listened to Pearl Jam much in recent history, but then I started reading I Am Fuel, You Are Friends, and Heather is an unabashed PJ fan…and then they played Lollapalooza…

This album is the soundtrack to the movie. And I swear when I listen to it..this is going to sound crazy!… I can FEEL Alaska. I can feel wide open horizons… I can feel solitude, and silent (echoing?) forests… Expansive. Lonely. Calm. I don’t know what it is — Vedder’s voice, the background music, the lyrics — but it is creating very vivid pictures in my mind…

It’s a mystery to me…
You think you have to want more than you need
Until you have it all, you won’t be free.
