I woke up this morning with Pearl Jam's "Alive" in my head for no discernable reason. It has been months since I heard any Pearl Jam and possibly years since I heard this song, "Alive", Memory is a funny and sometimes random thing.
Back in school the question was frequently "who do you like more, Pearl Jam or Nirvana?" I was always a Nirvana fan. Though endearing now 15 years later, Pearl Jam was just "alright" to me at the time. I didn't seek them out like I did Nirvana. Nirvana seemed more edgy and extreme and that appealed to me, though I am neither. I suppose I wish I were. I know I didn't need to choose either one but such is the ridiculousness of middle school and high school, where you feel like you have to choose this or that to define yourself. Screw that! Have both if you want both! Don't let silly questions like that or social boundaries define you. And definitely don't let it limit your musical tastes!
