I remember a tour where we played 50 cities in 56 days. We also went to Europe a couple of times.

I began both auditioning with Pearl Jam and recording for Eleven. In the fall of 1994, I joined Pearl Jam.

In January of 1995, my family and I moved to Seattle. Pearl Jam did the first of their live radio broadcasts, Monkey Wrench Radio, along with many other Seattle musicians.

I finished the recordings I had started with Eleven. Matt Cameron joined for the rest of those sessions.

I began hearing rumors of apossible recording session with Neil Young. I was a huge fan of Neil's.

After wrestling with myself for six months, I began medical treatment. During that time I started a band with some friends of mine called Jack's Car, but that didn't last.

We got a chance to go and play in some places that the usual European tour by an American band didn't go to.

I began the process of recording myself seriously in the fall of 1999. If I could finish an album of my own music, I would. Five years later I am happy to say I have.

"Yield" was completed in 1997 and released in 1998. In the spring of 1997, I had made a decision to stop taking medications that I had been taking daily since 1988.

The family exists for many reasons, but its most basic function may be to draw together after a member dies.

What if we saw differences in cultures, in moral choices, and in belief as reasons to engage people instead of excuses to disengage and quickly exit?

Worse still, it isn’t actually necessary to look to space for petrifying danger. As we are about to see, Earth can provide plenty of danger of its own.

Cricket is first and foremost a dramatic spectacle. It belongs with theatre, ballet, opera and the dance.

Looking back now at my first World Cup experience, I didn't know what was going on. I was a newbie and I had no idea what to expect.

Summer is my favorite time to read mysteries.

Words and thoughts concerning compassionate action that are not put into practice are like beautiful flowers that are colorful but have no fragrance.

Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again.

If ruling our world stems from developing certainty in our sanity, how do we discover it? The Shambhala teachings instruct us to "put our mind of fearfulness in the cradle of loving-kindnes."

I believe that no people ever yet groaned under the heavy yoke of slavery but when they deserved it.
