Hey all,

Just checking out 5horizons to get all pumped up about Live on 2 Legs, when I
notice a link to an online poll.  The question being:  "Who is your favorite
Pearl Jam Drummer?"

All you care about is this:
Matt Cameron 51%
Fifty-fucking-one percent!! That's not just a plurality, no run-off election
necessary!!
If the band listened to their fans enough to play "Breath" on the last tour, I
wonder if they'll listen again.

Not to start another "I think (or don't think) Matt should join PJ" thread,
I'm basically talking to hear myself talk.

By all,
Matt
NR16020

Thought you might like to hear what an "outsider", my traveling
companion Debbi, had to say about meeting Ben.  She posted this to my
DownUndershoe list:

> Here's my bit to add.
> I didn't know much about Ben except what Jen had told me. I'm not an SG fan
> (not that I don't like them, I just don't follow them). I had heard some crap
> stuff about Ben, and some nice stuff, so who knew what to think?
>    All I can say is he is a true gentleman. He has a very blunt way of
> speaking, so if you can't handle someone giving their opinion when it's
> different from your own you may not like him - but he had respect for other
> people's opinions, too. He went out of his way to include us at the shows, he
> made sure someone was around to talk with us, he even made sure we had a safe
> place to stay in Seattle. He didn't hover over us - he came and went all
> night, each night, but he always came back to chat. Of anyone in the band, he
> was the one most concerned with making sure we had fun on our trip. He made us
> all feel special - not like we were some freaky girls following the band -
> more like we were friends in town for a visit.
>    So that's my two cents worth. I'm really glad I got to meet him and see
> what kind of person he really is.
