![]() For many, it’s likely a pleasant confirmation that even a rock star like Eddie Vedder has daughters (6- and 10-year-old daughters to be exact) who won’t stop listening to “Let It Go.” In this once instance, his problems are just like our’s. Thank you, THR, Billboard, CinemaBlend, HitFlix, ScreenCrush, etc. Yes, but it’s a slow news day, and headlines like “Pearl James On on ‘Frozen’ Hit ‘Let It Go” (from HollywoodReporter) make for nice clickbait. Any Pearl Jam fan worth their salt instantly recognizes that as simply a classic case of Eddie adding a couple of lines from some other song to the bridge of “Daughter.” He does that all that time. ![]() In recent years, Pearl Jam has scored several cross-over hits with perfect-for-a-first-dance-at-a-wedding songs like “Just Breathe” and “Sirens, ” but today they’ve actually gone viral thanks to this: Of course, I’m supposed to be talking about “Let It Go,” not that sad Tuesday morning I spent at a Best Buy over a decade ago. Yeah, I was there for over 30 minutes, and not a single other person walked up to look at one of the bootlegs the entire time. R emember when they released bootlegs of all 72 shows from their 2000 European/North American Tour in big box chain stores? That’s around the time I first became a fan, and I remember rushing to Best Buy to comb through every bootleg, positive I needed to get there early to beat the crowd. I didn’t find my way to their music until well after their reign as Billboard and self-serious MTV champs had passed. I’ve moved on since then, but nothing will ever quite replace the special place they have in my heart.Īnd I’m probably just a hair too young to be saying that. Pearl Jam is my band equivalent of a first love.
