Song title: Sad
Artist: Pearl Jam
Year: 2000
Why I like this song:
Mystifying as to why this was relegated to a b-side. It's one of Pearl Jam's best and that's saying something.
Equally unexpected is Matt Cameron's departure: it came out of nowhere and is surprising given the length of his tenure & what he brought to the band.
Should Pearl Jam subsequently call it a day? Hard to say: Their music spoke to the youth of the nineties (not least me) but that decade is long gone. And you can't speak to the youth when you're no longer part of it. Sure their records still sell and their live shows deliver but you can't stop the march of time. And whether Pearl Jam has maintained their credibility or if they never had any in the first place is up for debate in one of the more rank corners of the internet.
Needless to say it would be interesting to nee what happens next.....
