- Ah LW LW. The singer *is* Pearl Jam. Without him they'd be just another
- band playing kinda-nice-but-over-played-blues-licks. First time I heard
- the guy sing, I thought "Heh, doesn't do much for me, but *he* seems to
- mean it." Since then I've grown to appreciate his cathartic fits, much more
- than any that the king-of-catharsis, Springsteen, ever put out.
