#1898. Putin

Brass tax.  If Pearl Jam's lead singer Eddie Vedder had any guts whatsoever...

 

he would make the following announcement:

Regarding our 2023 midwest fall tour dates...

8/31 — Xcel Energy Center — St. Paul, MN
9/02 — Xcel Energy Center — St. Paul, MN
9/05 — United Center — Chicago, IL
9/07 — United Center — Chicago, IL
9/10 — Ruoff Music Center — Indianapolis, IN
9/13 — Dickies Arena — Fort Worth, TX
9/15 — Dickies Arena — Fort Worth, TX
9/18 — Moody Center — Austin, TX
9/19 — Moody Center — Austin, TX

Our band has officially decided to suspend the 4 Texas dates... unless and/or until the Lone Star State affords its female residents a reasonable degree of humanitarian dignity, fundamental respect, and reproductive freedom. (abortion)

The concerts in Minnesota and Illinois will not be affected.

A final decision on the concert in Noblesville, Indiana will be forthcoming.  Likely hinging upon near-term executive, legislative, and judicial outcomes.

That... is how you change the future. (Chapter 18)

 

 

Putin
sonofsaf

Orange clown defeat he’s back the 2024 shit show
His mushroom cock’s the fucking worst for Stormy’s tits and cunt
To the delight, of MAGA asses, winking on their own
Cops are the latest target Proud Boys send them to the morgue

He’s Vladimir Putin
A presidential Putin
A Russian whore that’s Putin
No man courage.  Ukraine show’s now scorched earth  

His enemy Zelensky’s a comedian hardcore
The KGB and all the poison and polonium
He is pro-life, abortion sucks, a fat jerk and pure scum
A sandwich turd that geek was just a giant douchebag stunt

 

Lukin
Pearl Jam

Drive down the street can't find the keys to my own fucking home
I'll take a walk so I could curse my ass for being dumb
I'll make a right, after the arches, stinking grease and bone
Stopped at the supermarket people stare like I'm a dog

I'm going to Lukin's
I've got a spot at Lukin's
I knocked the door at Lukin's
Open the fridge. Now I know life is worth

I found the key but I return to find an open door
Some fucking freak who claims I fathered, by rape, her own son
I find my wife, I call the cops, this days work's never done
The last I heard that freak was purchasing a fucking gun

For some reason, I always thought that Lukin was a delicatessen somewhere in Los Angeles.  Then I stumbled upon this thread...

“Vedder had a stalker chick that would come by his house that was freaking him out. He would start to avoid his house after a while, so he would just come by my place. Vedder’d come over and we’d sit ‘round the kitchen and drink and stuff. He would talk about his stalker problem a little bit, but I would just blow it off. It was just drunken talk, throwing darts, having fun. There’d be other people there, sometimes four or five of us. Just me and Eddie and our wives and mutual friends like [then Mudhoney manager] Bob Whittaker. The Pearl Jam song ‘Lukin’ is about how my kitchen’s a sanctuary for him. Also, I was giving him shit about all their songs being too long. That inspired him to make ‘Lukin’ a one-minute song. I’ve always flipped him shit. Never let him be the rock star that he is.”

— former Mudhoney/Melvins bassist Matt Lukin (outtake from the forthcoming book Everybody Loves Our Town: An Oral History of Grunge)

 

I've always liked the Lukin > Not For You segue.
