All of the rock and roll cliches were there: a storm of lighters surrounding us, the crowd singing along as loud as the band, and me with my arm around my girlfriend.
As we sang along with Eddie Vedder to “Elderly Woman Behind a Counter In A Small Town”, I thought, this is what music is all about. This is why I built donewaiting.com. This is why I do what I do.
I wasn’t the only one who felt this way last night, I’m sure. Once the song ended the applause went on for several minutes, the audience in agreement that they just were a part of something special, something important, something beautiful.
This is why I love Pearl Jam.
